A Scalable Cluster-based Infrastructure for Edge-computing Services
In this paper we present a scalable and dynamic intermediary infrastruc-
ture, SEcS (acronym of BScalable Edge computing Services’’), for developing and
deploying advanced Edge computing services, by using a cluster of heterogeneous
machines. Our goal is to address the challenges of the next-generation Internet
services: scalability, high availability, fault-tolerance and robustness, as well as
programmability and quick prototyping. The system is written in Java and is based
on IBM’s Web Based Intermediaries (WBI) [71] developed at IBM Almaden
Research Center
Ubiquitous Computing
The aim of this book is to give a treatment of the actively developed domain of Ubiquitous computing. Originally proposed by Mark D. Weiser, the concept of Ubiquitous computing enables a real-time global sensing, context-aware informational retrieval, multi-modal interaction with the user and enhanced visualization capabilities. In effect, Ubiquitous computing environments give extremely new and futuristic abilities to look at and interact with our habitat at any time and from anywhere. In that domain, researchers are confronted with many foundational, technological and engineering issues which were not known before. Detailed cross-disciplinary coverage of these issues is really needed today for further progress and widening of application range. This book collects twelve original works of researchers from eleven countries, which are clustered into four sections: Foundations, Security and Privacy, Integration and Middleware, Practical Applications
Requirements for OPES Callout Protocols
In the context of the Content Networks, the Open Pluggable Edge Services represents an infrastructure that enables quick and easy
creation of value-added networking services. This document attempts to present requirements for callout protocols that provide communication between an in-path OPES intermediary (e.g. a cache)and remote callout servers
