Towards a new paradigm for managing computing continuum applications
Víctor Casamayor Pujol, Philipp Raith, Schahram Dustdar · 2021
“Computing continuum” systems are expected to sculpt our future society through a manifold of applications, most of them leveraging artificial intelligence systems. How-ever, their inherent complexity, brought by their dependency on their underlying infrastructure, requires to propose new methodologies for managing them. The methodologies that are now in place are founded on the first Internet systems and they are not able to cope with the complexity of these systems. In this article we first develop the idea of the complexity on these “computing continuum” systems that have Edge Intelligence applications running on them. Then we present our vision on how to represent and manage these emerging systems. Based on a use case, we highlight the system's inherent complexity and we finally sketch how our vision would work on the showcased system.
