Abnormal or drastic changes in the natural environment may lead to unexpected events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, which are becoming a major threat to national economy. Currently, no effective assessment approach can deduce a situation and determine the optimal response strategy when a natural disaster occurs. In this study, we propose a social evolution modeling approach and construct a deduction model for self-playing, self-learning, and self-upgrading on the basis of the idea of parallel data and reinforcement learning. The proposed approach can evaluate the impact of an event, deduce the situation, and provide optimal strategies for decision-making. Taking the breakage of a submarine cable caused by earthquake as an example, we find that the proposed modeling approach can obtain a higher reward compared with other existing methods.

Mobile devices are resource-limited, and task migration has become an important and attractive feature of mobile clouds. To validate task migration, we propose a novel approach to the simulation of task migration in a pervasive cloud environment. Our approach is based on Colored Petri Net (CPN). In this research, we expanded the semantics of a CPN and created two task migration models with different task migration policies: one that took account of context information and one that did not. We evaluated the two models using CPN-based simulation and analyzed their task migration accessibility, integrity during the migration process, reliability, and the stability of the pervasive cloud system after task migration. The energy consumption and costs of the two models were also investigated. Our results suggest that CPN with context sensing task migration can minimize energy consumption while preserving good overall performance.
