Process Framework for Edge Computing Systems

The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices worldwide is forecast to almost triple from around 10 billion in 2020 to around 30 billion IoT devices in 2030. The edge devices in these ecosystems are continuously/continually acquiring data for further analysis and leading to subsequent inferences/actions. A critical situation arises for IoT applications that are time-sensitive where the response time is ideally zero and non-negotiable. An edge computing process framework requires to address such and many more issues in these ecosystems. We present one in this paper where edge computing can be near the device, does not depend on enhancing the configuration parameters of the device and intends to be easy on network bandwidth that otherwise is required due to server-side computations.
