Descripción
Sumario:The book aims to focus only on the 'edge computing' paradigm - as opposed to other similar disciplines such as fog computing - due to its unique characteristics where heterogeneous devices can be equipped with decision-making processes and automation procedures to carry out applications (mostly) across widely geographically distributed areas. The book is sectioned into three parts (models, technologies and applications) to reflect complementary viewpoints and shed light onto various aspect of edge computing platforms. The first part (models) serves as an introductory section to differentiate edge computing from its fairly close/similar paradigms such as fog computing, multi-access edge computing and mobile cloud computing. It then highlights various theoretical models through which edge computing systems could be mathematically expressed and their relevant technological problems could be systematically solved or optimized. The second part (technologies) focuses on different technologies (virtualization, networking, orchestration, etc.) where edge computing systems could be realized. And finally, the third part (applications) focuses on various application domains (e.g., smart cities) where edge computing systems could, or already did, help in providing novel services beyond the reach of pure/typical cloud computing solutions.
