Wen, Shilin (author), Han, Rui (author), Liu, Chi Harold (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author)Edge-cloud applications are rapidly prevailing in recent years and pose the challenge of using both resource-strenuous edge devices and elastic cloud resources under dynamic workloads. Efficient resource allocation on edge-cloud jobs via cluster schedulers (e.g. Kubernetes/Volcano scheduler) is essential to guarantee their performance, e.g....journal article 2023
