A talk presented at IEEE ComSoc workshop on Evolution of Data-centers in the context of 5G.
Discuss about what is edge computing and management issues in Edge Computing
Edge Computing is transforming the way data is being handled, processed, and delivered from millions of devices around the world.
“ A part of a distributed computing topology in which information processing is located close to the edge- where things and people produce or consume that information”
Edge computing allows data produced by internet of things (IoT) devices to be processed closer to where it is created instead of sending it across long routes to data centers or clouds.
Doing this computing closer to the edge of the network lets organizations analyze important data in near real-time – a need of organizations across many industries, including manufacturing, health care, telecommunications and finance.Edge computing deployments are ideal in a variety of circumstances. One is when IoT devices have poor connectivity and it’s not efficient for IoT devices to be constantly connected to a central cloud.
Other use cases have to do with latency-sensitive processing of information. Edge computing reduces latency because data does not have to traverse over a network to a data center or cloud for processing. This is ideal for situations where latencies of milliseconds can be untenable, such as in financial services or manufacturing.
In this talk, we will briefly review the current trend toward Edge Computing first. Then, characteristics and requirements for the Industrial Edge Computing will be addressed and discussed. Among them, Decentralized Fault-Resilient Architecture, Time-sensitive Operations, Data-centric Computation, Autonomous Systems and Flexibility are the most important ones. Some influential open-source projects for the industrial edge computing will also be introduced in this talk, including Cyclone DDS, ROS2, Autoware and zenoh.

The European Commission, in a recent communication (April 19th), has identified 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) amongst the ICT standardisation priorities for the Digital Single Market (DSM). This session will discuss the emergence of the mobile edge computing paradigm to reduce the latency for processing near the source large quantities of data and the need of the emerging 5G technology to satisfy the requirements of different verticals. Mobile Edge Clouds have the potential to provide an enormous amount of resources, but it raises several research challenges related to the resilience, security, data portability and usage due to the presence of multiple trusted domains, as well as energy consumption of battery powered devices. Large and centralized clouds have been deployed and have shown how this paradigm can greatly improve performance and flexibility while reducing costs. However, there are many issues requiring solutions that are user and context aware, dynamic, and with the capability to handle heterogeneous demands and systems. This is a challenge triggered by the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, which strongly requires cloud-based solutions that can be dynamically located and managed, on demand and with self-organization capabilities to serve the purposes of different verticals.

Towards the extinction of mega data centres? To which extent should the Clou...Thierry Coupaye
Keynote by Thierry Coupaye at the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Networking, Niagara Falls, Canada, October 2015.
Summary: Cloud computing emerged, a decade or so ago, from underused computing and storage ressources in Internet players mega data centres that were thought to be provided "as a service". As a result of this inception, Cloud is often considered as a synonym for massive data center, which somehow fuels a very centralised vision of (cloud) computing and storage provision. However, we might be at a time in which the pendulum begins to swing back. Indeed, several initiatives are emerging around a vision of more geographically distributed clouds where computing and storage resources are made available at the edge of the network, close to users, in complement or replacement of massive remote data centres. This presentation discusses, through some examples, the evolution of cloud architectures towards more distribution, the signs and stakes of these mutations.
What is Your Edge From the Cloud to the Edge, Extending Your ReachSUSE
As companies continue to take advantage of the benefits of cloud – increased flexibility, speed of innovation and quickly responding to business demands, it is no wonder that they want to extend these benefits to the edge. But there are still a lot of questions.

Fog computing is defined as a decentralized infrastructure that places storage and processing components at the edge of the cloud, where data sources such as application users and sensors exist.It is an architecture that uses edge devices to carry out a substantial amount of computation (edge computing), storage, and communication locally and routed over the Internet backbone.To achieve real-time automation, data capture and analysis has to be done in real-time without having to deal with the high latency and low bandwidth issues that occur during the processing of network data In 2012, Cisco introduced the term fog computing for dispersed cloud infrastructures.. In 2015, Cisco partnered with Microsoft, Dell, Intel, Arm and Princeton University to form the OpenFog Consortium.The consortium's primary goals were to both promote and standardize fog computing. These concepts brought computing resources closer to data sources.Fog computing also differentiates between relevant and irrelevant data. While relevant data is sent to the cloud for storage, irrelevant data is either deleted or transmitted to the appropriate local platform. As such, edge computing and fog computing work in unison to minimize latency and maximize the efficiency associated with cloud-enabled enterprise systemsFog computing consists of various componets such as fog nodes.Fog nodes are independent devices that pick up the generated information. Fog nodes fall under three categories: fog devices, fog servers, and gateways. These devices store necessary data while fog servers also compute this data to decide the course of action. Fog devices are usually linked to fog servers. Fog gateways redirect the information between the various fog devices and servers. With Fog computing, local data storage and scrutiny of time-sensitive data become easier. With this the amount and the distance of passing data to the cloud is reduced, therefore reducing the security challenges.Fog computing enables data processing based on application demands, available networking and computing resources. This reduces the amount of data required to be transferred to the cloud, ultimately saving network bandwidth.Fog computing can run independently and ensure uninterrupted services even with fluctuating network connectivity to the cloud. It performs all time-sensitive actions close to end users which meets latency constraints of IoT applications.
IoT applications where data is generated in terabytes or more, where a quick and large amount of data processing is required and sending data to the cloud back and forth is not feasible, are good candidates for fog computing. Fog computing provides real-time processing and event responses which are critical in healthcare. Besides, it also addresses issues regarding network connectivity and traffic required for remote storage, processing and medical record retrieval from the cloud.
Overview of Cloud Computing, Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, Software as a Service.
Cloud computing means transferring ICT resources (servers, hosts, applications, databases, platforms etc.) to a cloud service provider (CSP) with the goal of reducing capital expenditures (CapEx).
Cloud computing differs from legacy hosting services in that CSPs offer standardized services on a massive scale which results in economy-of-scale effects thus further reducing operating expenses (OpEx).
Different cloud models such as public, private and hybrid clouds address different customer needs.
The 3 categories for the functional level of cloud services are IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service),
PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service). Countless models emerge almost daily such as MaaS (Management as a Service), BaaS (Backend as a Service) and NaaS (Network as a Service).
To accommodate increases in processing power, cloud services offer the possibility to scale-up or scale-out.

Similar to Breaking the Edge -- A Journey Through Cloud, Edge and Fog Computing (20)
This was the opening presentation of the Zenoh Summit in June 2022. The presentation goes through the motivations that lead to the design of the zenoh protocol and provides an introduction of its core concepts. This is the place to start to understand why you should care about zenoh and the way in which is disrupts existing technologies.
The recording for this presentation is available at https://bit.ly/3QOuC6i
Zenoh is rapidly growing Eclipse project that unifies data in motion, data at rest and computations. It elegantly blends traditional pub/sub with geo distributed storage, queries and computations, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks. This presentation will provide an introduction to Eclipse Zenoh along with a crisp explanation of the challenges that motivated the creation of this project. We will go through a series of real-world use cases that demonstrate the advantages brought by Zenoh in enabling and optimising typical edge scenarios and in simplifying the development of any scale distributed applications.

A presentation give at the European H-Cloud Conference to motivate decentralisation as a mean to improve energy efficiency, privacy, and opportunity for monetisation for your digital footprint.
zenoh: zero overhead pub/sub store/query computeAngelo Corsaro
Unifies data in motion, data in-use, data at rest and computations.
It carefully blends traditional pub/sub with distributed queries, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks.
It provides built-in support for geo-distributed storages and distributed computations
Fog computing aims at providing horizontal, system-level, abstractions to distribute computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to the user along a cloud-to-thing continuum. Whilst fog computing is increasingly recognised as the key paradigm at the foundation of Consumer and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), most of the initiatives on fog computing focus on extending cloud infrastructure. As a consequence, these infrastructure fall short in addressing heterogeneity and resource constraints characteristics of fog computing environments.
fog⌀5 (read as fog O-five or fog OS) is an Eclipse IoT Project that is building a fog computing infrastructure from first principle. In other terms, fog⌀5 has been designed to address the challenges induced by fog computing in terms of heterogeneity, decentralisation, resource constraints, geographical scale and security.
This webcast will introduce fog⌀5, motivate its architecture and building blocks as well as provide a demonstration of fog⌀5 provisioning applications that span from the cloud to the things.
The video recording for this presentation is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osl3O5DxHF8
Making the right data available at the right time, at the right place, securely, efficiently, whilst promoting interoperability, is a key need for virtually any IoT application. After all, IoT is about leveraging access data – that used to be unavailable – in order to improve the ability to react, manage, predict and preserve a cyber-physical system.
The Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a standard for interoperable, secure, and efficient data sharing, used at the foundation of some of the most challenging Consumer and Industrial IoT applications, such as Smart Cities, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Grids, Smart Farming, Home Automation and Connected Medical Devices.
In this presentation we will (1) introduce the Eclipse Cyclone DDS project, (2) provide a quick intro that will get you started with Cyclone DDS, (3) present a few Cyclone DDS use cases, and (4) share the Cyclone DDS development road-map.
Fog Computing is a paradigm that complements and extends cloud computing by providing an end-to-end virtualisation of computing, storage and communication resources. As such, fog computing allow applications to be transparently provisioned and managed end-to-end. This presentation first motivates the need for fog computing, then introduced fog05 the first and only Open Source fog computing platform!
Data Sharing in Extremely Resource Constrained EnvionrmentsAngelo Corsaro
This presentation introduces XRCE a new protocol for very efficiently distributing data in resource constrained (power, network, computation, and storage) environments. XRCE greatly improves the wire efficiency of existing protocol and in many cases provides higher level abstractions.
RUSTing is not a tutorial on the Rust programming language.

Vortex II -- The Industrial IoT Connectivity StandardAngelo Corsaro
The large majority of commercial IoT platforms target consumer applications and fall short in addressing the requirements characteristic of Industrial IoT. Vortex has always focused on addressing the challenges characteristic of Industrial IoT systems and with 2.4 release sets a the a new standard!
This presentation will (1) introduce the new features introduced in with Vortex 2.4, (2) explain how Vortex 2.4 addresses the requirements of Industrial Internet of Things application better than any other existing platform, and (3)showcase how innovative companies are using Vortex for building leading edge Industrial Internet of Things applications.
Fog computing has emerged as a new paradigm for architecting IoT applications that require greater scalability, performance and security. This talk will motivate the need to Fog Computing and explain what it is and how it differs from other initiatives in Telco such as Mobile/Multiple-Access Edge Computing.
Introduced in 2004, the Data Distribution Service (DDS) has been steadily growing in popularity and adoption. Today, DDS is at the heart of a large number of mission and business critical systems, such as, Air Traffic Control and Management, Train Control Systems, Energy Production Systems, Medical Devices, Autonomous Vehicles, Smart Cities and NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre Launch System.
Considered the technological trends toward data-centricity and the rate of adoption, tomorrow, DDS will be at the at the heart of an incredible number of Industrial IoT systems.
To help you become an expert in DDS and exploit your skills in the growing DDS market, we have designed the DDS in Action webcast series. This series is a learning journey through which you will (1) discover the essence of DDS, (2) understand how to effectively exploit DDS to architect and program distributed applications that perform and scale, (3) learn the key DDS programming idioms and architectural patterns, (4) understand how to characterise DDS performances and configure for optimal latency/throughput, (5) grow your system to Internet scale, and (6) secure you DDS system.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

BREAKING the EdgeA Journey Through Cloud, Edge and Fog Computing
4. Hardware Tiers in IoT
A generic IoT/IIoT system has three
different hardware tiers
Off-premises data-centre which
may be private or public
On-premises edge infrastructure
Things with computational,
communication and storage
capacity
5. Hardware Tiers in IoT
The key architectural variations
that are discussed today all
depends on the bias, or lack
of thereof, on a specific tier
7. Cloud Centric Architectures
The majority of IoT (and
Telco infrastructures)
systems are today cloud-
centric
These systems are
characterised by device-
to-cloud communication
and in-cloud analytics
9. Cloud-Centric Perspective
The early days of IoT/IIoT have been
biased by a cloud centric
perspective
The cloud infrastructure is mature
and operationally convenient…
Yet cloud centric architectures
don’t fit well for a large class of
IoT/IIoT applications

22. Edge-Centric Perspective
The main idea of Edge-
Centric architecture is that of
providing edge-clouds to
reduce some of the short-
comings of traditional Cloud
Centric architectures
25. The Fuzzy Edge
The edge is an extremely fuzzy concept as it depends
entirely from infrastructure ownership structure and
application domain.
What’s the edge in the image below?
MEC
InfraNet-Core
EDGE
Infra
Things, Machines,
User Terminal, …
27. To edge, or not to edge: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous boundaries,
Or to take arms against a sea of edges,
And by opposing end them?
29. Cloud, Edge, and Things
Cloud Computing gives operationally convenient abstractions
and tools to manage and provision data-centre resources
Edge Computing alleviates some of the challenges posed by
cloud computing at the cost of introducing some fragmentation
in the infrastructure.
But how about the Things? In a large class of system we need to
manage and provision them too…
30. What’s Really Needed?
A scalable, location
transparent, data-
centric layer that allows
us to effectively get the
data where needed
while minimising
resource usage
1
31. What’s Really Needed?
A geo-distributed, location
transparent, storage
infrastructure that allows
us to store data where it
makes sense to support
local computing while
maintaining location
transparent access to it.
2
Home/Building Management – Edge Computing
As we tackle the problem,
it would also make sense
to address edge
computing and ensure
that our solution will allow
for location transparent
and uniform access to
data even if that is living
on the edge.
32. What’s Really Needed?
3
An infrastructure that
allows us to federate
compute, storage, I/O
and communication
resources regardless of
their location (Fog
Infrastructure)
36. The Internet today
Most of the application on the
internet today are data / content
centric.
What matters to the user is the
data not as much who has it…
37. Internet protocol
The internet protocol is inherently
one-to-one. Broadcast and multicast
communications are not viable in wide
networks.
Thus the diffusion of the same data to
multiple consumers is very inefficient.
38. NDN / CCN
NDN is based on a data centric
networking paradigm.
Data samples are identified with
hierarchical names.
NDN is Inherently Pull and best suited
for static data.
Named Data Networking
Content Centric Networking

39. DDS is a great data centric technology which embraces powerful concepts
like strong decoupling between publishers and subscribers.
But DDS has been designed for small to medium systems and suffers from
major scalability issues on larger systems.
It is push based which makes uneasy to retrieve specific data or to properly
filter data streams.
Data Distribution Service
40. The Internet of Tomorrow
With the raise of IoT, the
different devices connected to
the internet use very
heterogeneous networking
technologies (TCP/IP, BLE, 3G,
6LowPan, …).
Some endpoints are
extremely constrained w.r.t
computational, communication
resources as well as energy.
41. Internet scale data-centric protocol that
unifies data-sharing between any kind of
device including those constrained with
respect to the node resources, such as
computational resources and power, as well
as the network.
42. Conceptual Model
zenoh provides a data-centric
abstraction in which applications
can read and write data
autonomously and
asynchronously.
The data read and written by
zenoh applications is associated
with one or more resources
identified by a URI.

55. Home/Building Management
Imagine that we have a collection
of houses in a residence or
equivalently buildings on a business
park that we would like to monitor
and manage.
In other terms, we would like to
read, write and observe data
specic to the house/building.
More importantly we would want
to do this from anywhere.
//residence-1/house-1/kitchen/airquality
//residence-1/house-1/alert
//residence-1/house-1/utilities/electricity
//residence-1/house-1/laundry/washer/schedule
//residence-1/house-n/kitchen/airquality
//residence-1/house-n/alert
//residence-1/house-n/utilities/electricity
//residence-1/house-n/laundry/washer/schedule
...
56. Cloud Centric Home/Building Management
One solution is to push the data to
the Cloud
Applications can use the cloud as
the place to go and get or set any
information concerning our
house/buildings.
That is a very commont approach...
But, is this a solution to the
problem, or is it just delaying the
problem?
//residence-1/house-i/kitchen/airquality
//residence-1/house-i/alert
//residence-1/house-i/utilities/electricity
//residence-1/house-i/laundry/washer/schedule
57. Scaling Out
At some point scaling-up
won’t be a solution and we
will have to scale-out and
leverage multiple cloud
regions.
With multiple cloud
regions the unifed view of
the system is lost, and we
are back to the starting
point.
58. Home/Building Management – Edge Computing
As we tackle the problem,
it would also make sense
to address edge
computing and ensure
that our solution will allow
for location transparent
and uniform access to
data even if that is living
on the edge.
60. YAKS provides a distributed
service that implements an
eventually consistent, scalable,
location transparent, high
performance, and distributed
key/value store with pluggable
back-ends and front-end.
YAKS is equipped with dynamic
discovery and supports extremely
well dynamic environments
YAKS data is globally accessible
without requiring local
replication as in traditional key/
value stores.
61. Home/Building Management with YAKS
Regardless of wether data
is the device, the edge
infrastructure or the cloud,
YAKS provides location
transparent access
through a distributed
key-value store
abstraction.
All the details concerning
how to get the data from
were it is to were it needs
to are handled by YAKS.
66. YAKS
YAKS is a distributed service to define, manage and
operate on key/value spaces
The key abstractions at the core of yaks are Path, Value,
Selector, Storage, Workspace, and Admin Space
67. YAKS Values
A YAKS Value is defined by the following tuple:
v = e, c, t
Where e is the encoding and c represents the content and t
is a logical timestamp used for ordering.
68. YAKS Path
A Path in YAKS is a string having the following format:
/s1/s2/…/sn
Where si does not contain wildcard characters such as ‘*’
and ‘**’
Example:
/com/adlink/factory/shanghai/line/1/machine/
/net/icorsaro/home/livingroom/lightbulb/10
69. YAKS Selector
A Selector in YAKS is the conjunction of an expression identifying a set of keys and
optionally a predicate on values
/se1/se2/…/sen [? [predicate] [(properties)]] [#projection]
Where:
• sei may contain wildcard characters such as ‘*’ and ‘**’
• the predicate has the form: f1 op v1 f2 op v2… fn op vn
(where op can be , =, =, =, and !=)
• the properties is a semicolon separated list of key=value
• the projection is a semicolon separated list of fields to project.
Example:
/net/icorsaro/home/*/lightbulb?luminosity50#id
/net/icorsaro/home/*/consumption/statistics?(start=yesterday;end=now)#average;std
70. Selector / Path matching
‘*’ to match 1 segment (full or partial):
Examples:
/home/bob/*/light
/home/bob/room*/light
/home/bob/*/light
matches
matches
doesn’t match
/home/bob/kitchen/light
/home/bob/room1/light
/home/bob/floor1/room2/light
Examples:
/home/bob/**/light
/home/bob/**
matches
also matches
/home/bob/kitchen/light
/home/bob/floor1/room2/light
/home/bob/floor2/room1/temp
‘**’ to match several segments (full):
71. YAKS Storage
A Storage in YAKS is defined by means of a selector s and
backend B. Where the back-end B may be one of
supported backends, such as main-memory, DBMS, etc.
A Storage with selector s will store path,value for which s
matches the path.
72. KV Space Operations
YAKS primitives to operate on the key/value space are:
• put, update, remove, get
• subscribe/unsubscribe
• register_eval/unregister_eval, eval
73. Put/Get
put
Data are published via
put/update.
Matching storages
receive and store the
data.
Later on, applications
can query the data
74. Put/Get
get
Data are published via
put/update.
Matching storages

data.
Later on, applications
can query the data

80. Vision
fogOS aims at providing a
decentralised infrastructure for
provisioning and managing (1)
compute, (2) storage, (3)
communication and (3) I/O resources
available anywhere across the network.
fogOS addresses highly
heterogeneous systems even those with
extremely resource-constrained nodes.
81. — Decentralised Design
fogOS can manage and
provision any network
connected device on which it
agent is running
Its decentralised architecture
allows to manage the system
from anywhere and does not
need any specific set of nodes
running as “servers”
83. Modules

Information Model
fogOS’s information model
defines the describes associated
with nodes, entities and
networks.
Additionally it provides an
abstract way to describe
applications and relations
between them.
It is implemented as a set of
YANG Models.
88. AT()
Relation with ETSI NFV and MEC IM
fogOS information model is a
super-set of the ETSI (European
Telecommunications Standards
Institute) MEC and ETSI NFV
Specifically, fogOS supports the
declaration of I/O constraints.
YANG models have also been
defined for fogOS abstractions.
89. Architecture
fogOS is composed by:
NDN. At its lowest level, it leverages a Named Data
Network (NDN) infrastructure based on zenoh. DDS can
also be used as a transport — not necessarily an NDN
YAKS. A distributed key-value store that leverages the
NDN for scalability
Agent. The core logic of fogOS, it takes care of managing,
monitoring and orchestrating entities through plugins
Plugins. Plugins provide supports for atomic entities, OS,
networks, etc.

97. Key Takeaways
Cloud Computing is operationally convenient but it has
several limitations that limit its applicability in a large class of
applications.

98. Key Takeaways
The Edge is fuzzy in essence and limiting by nature. We
should focus on infrastructure that allows to unify the
computational, communication, communication and I/O
resources end-to-end
2
99. Key Takeaways
The world outside of the data-center is constrained,
heterogeneous, and tricky. Yet, that’s the place where the
difference can be made.
