Jie Cao, Lanyu Xu, Raef Abdallah, Weisong Shi · 2017
The proliferation of Internet of Everything (IoE) and the success of rich Cloud services have pushed the horizon of a new computing paradigm, Edge Computing, which calls for processing the data at the edge of the network. Smart home as a typical IoE application is being widely adapted into people's lives. Edge Computing has the potential to empower the smart home, but it needs more contribution from the community before it truly benefits our lives. In this paper, we present the vision of EdgeOSH, a home operating system for Internet of Everything. We further discuss functional challenges, namely programming interface, self-management, data management, security & privacy, and naming, as well as non-functional challenges, such as user experience, system cost, delay, and the lack of availability of open testbed. Within each challenge we also discuss the potential directions that are worth further investigation.
