IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshops: IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS) - Program
2019
In the past decade, applications of Internet of Things (IoT) such as Smart Home, Smart Cities, Smart Healthcare etc. have been deployed where the devices in our surroundings are interconnected to provide better services and comfort to humans.More recently, we witness the emerging applications in industrial internet, supply chains and other areas where the scale of the systems, the number of devices and data being generated continuously increases.It will be at very high cost to send all the data to a centralized server, as done in cloud computing, for processing and decision-making.Therefore, recent trend is to move the computation tasks from centralized cloud to edge devices which are closer to data sources.In this talk, I will describe Edge, an infrastructure for collaborative edge computing, where the intelligence and decision-making are pushed to the edge of and within the network closer to the sources of data, EdgeMesh lets the edge devices share the data and collaborate on the computation tasks.It also facilitates higher scalability and reliability with flexible and dynamic system reconfiguration.
