Edge Computing: Vision and Challenges

In the traditional content delivery network, only the data iscached at the edge servers. This is based on the fact that thecontent provider provides the data on the Internet, which istrue for the past decades. In the IoT, the data is produced andconsumed at the edge. Thus, in the edge computing paradigm,not only data but also operations applied on the data shouldbe cached at the edge
Another issue involves the collaboration of multiple edgeswhen a user moves from one edge node to another. One simplesolution is to cache the data to all edges the user may reach.Then the synchronization issue between edge nodes rises up.
Similar applicationsalso include the following.
- Navigation applications can move the navigating orsearching services to the edge for a local area, in whichcase only a few map blocks are involved.
- Conten
