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
