## Abstract (arXiv)

While various aspects of edge computing (EC) have been studied extensively, the current literature has overlooked the robust edge network operations and planning problem. To this end, this letter proposes a novel fairness-aware attacker-defender model for optimal edge network operation and hardening against possible attacks and disruptions. The proposed model helps EC platforms identify the set of most critical nodes to be protected to mitigate the impact of failures on system performance. Numerical results show that the proposed solution can not only ensure good service quality but also maintain fairness among different areas during disruptions.
