Abstract
The success of the Internet of Things and rich cloud services have helped create the need for edge computing, in which data processing occurs in part at the network edge, rather than completely in the cloud. Edge computing could address concerns such as latency, mobile devices' limited battery life, bandwidth costs, security, and privacy.
