Edge 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 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 in this seminar will include:
-
Real-time analytics at the Edge
-
Edge-to-Edge and Edge-to-Cloud
communication
-
Distributed Computing at the Edge
-
Reliability in Edge Computing
systems
-
Availability in Edge Computing
systems
-
Energy efficiency in Edge computing
-
Mission critical Edge Computing
The seminar will cover the latest advances, challenges, and
hot topics in the emerging computing paradigm: Edge computing. We will be
reading and discussing two papers every week from the reading list below:
