Answer to Question #228907 in Computer Networks for Eylul

Question

1.Prepare an example of resource sharing algorithm (preferably Max-Min).

2. How APIs are used to provide ML capability for cloud services?

3.Think about some AI examples for Manufacturing industry and search for any cloud support.

Answer 1

1. The Min-Max Resource Sharing Problem is defined as follows. Given finite sets R of resources and C of customers, an implicitly given convex set Bc, called block, of feasible solutions for customer c (for c ∈ C), and a nonnegative convex function gc : Bc → R R + for c ∈ C specifying the resource consumption, the task is to find bc ∈ Bc (c ∈ C) approximately attaining

λ ∗ := inf ( max r∈R X c∈C (gc(bc))r bc ∈ Bc (c ∈ C) )

i.e. approximately minimizing the largest resource consumption.

2.

Figure above illustrates an example of how applications use ML APIs. It depicts the workflow of Whats-In-Your-Fridge [51], an open-source GitHub application for recipe suggestion. This application uploads a photo taken inside the fridge to the cloud, applies a vision API to find out what is inside the fridge, and then generates recipes accordingly

3. Robotics is AI example in Manufacturing industry and Google Cloud search is example of cloud support.
