Erlang as an enabling technology for resilient general-purpose applications on edge IoT networks
Kopestenski Igor, Peter Van Roy · 2019
Edge computing is one of the key success factors for future Internet solutions that intend to support the ongoing IoT evolution. By offloading central areas using resources that are closer to clients, providers can offer reliable services with higher quality. But even industry standards are still lacking a valid solution for edge systems with actual sense-making capabilities when no preexisting infrastructure whatsoever is available. The current edge model involves a tight coupling with gateway devices and Internet access, even when autonomous ad hoc IoT networks could perform partial or even complete tasks correctly.
