A Cooperative Game Theory and Blockchain based Elastic Bilateral Task Allocation Algorithm for In-network Computing

The compute first networking is a new network architecture, which aims at combining the computing resources with the network, integrating the ubiquitous and dynamically distributed computing resources, network, storage and other computing resources in the network, and making them unified and intelligently scheduled. This study focuses on realizing the effective assignments of computing power related tasks and interactions between multi-belonging service providers in the service transaction process while taking into consideration of the complex network cooperation scenario, and meeting the needs of the service providers and users. In this paper, a formal abstract model is established for the compute first networking architecture, which highlights the characteristics of the multi-party complex cooperation situation and includes the solution of the task allocation problem in detail. Another main work of this paper is to propose a service trading system based on blockchain. Finally, the researchers conducted simulation experiments on Matlab platform and Ethereum Truffle framework, thereby proving the advantages of the proposed method in having comparatively high efficiency and performance.
