Abstract: The state-of-the-art mobile edge applications are generating intense traffic and posing rigorous latency requirements to service providers. While resource sharing across multiple service providers today requires a centralized, trusted repository maintained by all parties for service providers to share status. We propose EdgeChain, a blockchain-based architecture to make mobile edge application placement decisions for multiple service providers, based on a stochastic programming problem minimizing the placement cost for mobile edge application placement scenarios. All placement transactions are stored on the blockchain and are traceable by every mobile edge service provider and application vendor who consumes resources at the mobile edge.
