FocusStack: Orchestrating Edge Clouds Using Focus of Attention
Brian Amento, Robert J. Hall, Kaustubh Joshi, K. Hal Purdy · IEEE Internet Computing · 2017
Managing resources in Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices presents new challenges: massive scale, novel security issues, and new resource types. We propose that edge devices can be managed as part of infrastructure-as-a-service clouds. Our approach, FocusStack, uses situational awareness to solve problems of inefficient messaging and mixed-initiative control that IoT device management raises for traditional cloud platforms.
