With the rapid growth of the mobile computing techniques, a wide variety of mobile edge computing (MEC) applications have emerged recently, aiming to provide computationally intensive and delay-sensitive network services. Through MEC, various complex tasks of mobile devices can be offloaded to the edge of network system for execution by edge servers, which greatly reduces the local computing burden. However, how to effectively allocate computational and communication resources in edge-cloud remains a challenging task, especially when multiple mobile users and edge servers are involved. In this paper, we propose a decomposition-based multi-objective optimization algorithm based on estimation-of-distribution models (MOEA/D-EoD) to deal with the task offloading and resource allocation problem in MEC. Especially, considering the features of multi-user and multi-server cloud-edge-end collaboration wireless MEC system, we construct a joint optimization model of task offloading and resource allocation, where limited communication and computational resource constraints are considered. To deal with the optimization model, we design an efficient decomposition-based algorithm, which incorporates two novel estimation-of-distribution models to deal with discrete and continuous decision variables of the problem. Experimental results obtained from benchmark test suites DTLZ and ZDT demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits significantly superior performance compared to other comparative algorithms. The proposed model and algorithm are simulated and tested on different test instances, and experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method.
