Abstract: Edge application deployment in a network is provided. The network includes a plurality of edge sites with edge computing infrastructure. Edge application deployment is performed, including deploying a pseudo application instance (pApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a first group of edge sites of the plurality of edge sites, and deploying a real application instance (rApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a second group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites.

Abstract: An ensemble of autoencoder models can be trained using different seeds. The trained ensemble of autoencoder models can be run on new time series data to generate a prediction associated with the new time series data. The new time series data can include multiple dimensions per time step. Reconstruction errors can be determined for the prediction. Dimensions having highest reconstruction errors can be selected among the multiple dimensions based on a threshold. The prediction can be segmented based on bursts of the reconstruction errors over time, where temporal segments can be obtained. At least one common pattern including a set of dimensions among the selected dimensions across the temporal segments can be obtained to represent a failure fingerprint.
