Edge/fog computing is a distributed computing paradigm in
which computation is mostly performed on distributed device nodes known as
smart devices or edge devices as opposed to primarily taking place in a
centralized cloud environment. Edge/fog computing is becoming more and more
important for the industry, and identified as one if the key building blocks
for successful implementation of latency-sensitive technologies such as
self-driving cars, smart traffic light systems, smart grid, real-time
analytics, augmented reality, and IoT.
The topics covered will include:
·
Real-time analytics at the Edge
·
Edge-to-Edge and Edge-to-Cloud
communication
·
Distributed Computing at the Edge
·
Reliability in Edge/Fog Computing
systems
·
Availability in Edge/Fog Computing
systems
·
Energy efficiency in Edge/Fog computing
·
Mission critical Edge/Fog Computing
The seminar will cover the latest advances, challenges, and
hot topics in the emerging computing paradigm: Edge/Fog computing. We will be
reading and discussing two papers every week from the reading list below:
The reading list for
the seminar is available here.
Course
Location and Time:
The seminars will be held Wednesdays 10:00am-12:00pm @ 113A Davis
Hall. First day of classes will be on Wednesday, January 30th,
2019.
Grading:
This is a research course. There will
be no exams and no projects (unless there is a request from individual students
for a term project). Each student will present 1-2 papers and will act as critic/advocate
for 2 other papers. Each student is expected to read all papers, attend
classes, and join the discussion of the papers. Grading will be P/F.
