Poster abstract: Resource hunting on the edge

Abstract

Evolution at the network's edge provides a variety of resources to host a wide spectrum of applications. In this work, we present an initial attempt to discover available resources on the edge. Unlike prior discovery approaches, we propose a selective approach to discover application hosting resources based on their availability and QoS features. In this work, we present a novel approach to index edge resources and utilize them towards executing applications on the edge. Moreover, we provide a preliminary evaluation to show the feasibility and performance of our approach.
