1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The industrial Internet revolutionizes traditional manufacturing through the incorporation of technologies such as real-time production optimization, big data analysis, etc. Computing resource-constrained industrial terminals struggle to effectively execute latency-sensitive and computation-intensive tasks triggered by these technologies. Edge computing (EC) emerges as a promising paradigm for offloading tasks from terminals to the adjacent edge servers, offering the potentiality to augment the computational capacities for industrial terminals. However, the development of accurate offloading strategies poses a prominent challenge for EC in the industrial Internet. Incorrect offloading strategies will misguide the task offloading procedure, resulting in adverse consequences. In this paper, we study the latency-aware multi-server partial EC task offloading problem in the industrial Internet with the consideration of joining load balancing and security protection to provide accurate strategies. Firstly, we establish a task offloading model that supports partial offloading, facilitating latency reduction, task offloading across multiple edge servers with load balance, and accommodation of fuzzy task risks. We quantify the established model as a constrained optimization formulation and prove its NP-hardness. Secondly, to solve the composite offloading strategy comprising both the offloading location and offloading ratio derived from our model, we propose a bi-layer offloading algorithm with joint load balance and fuzzy security, which is based on the adaptive genetic algorithm and simulated annealing particle swarm optimization. Based on extensive experimental results, we find that the established model is effective in reducing the objective value, with a respective decrease of 27% and 46% compared to full execution in edge servers and local execution in industrial terminals. Furthermore, the proposed offloading algorithm exhibits superior performance in terms of solution accuracy compared to existing algorithms.
