Redefining Edge Computing
Abstract
Edge Computing is a distributed computing paradigm which is closely related to other often conflated terms like Fog Computing, Mist Computing, IoT, and even Cloud Computing. Since it is a computing paradigm, it shapes how devices, protocols and other assets can be incorporated to develop overall solutions. In this paper we briefly describe how Edge Computing is currently defined in the literature and provide our view of looking at the Edge based on dominant data flows which reduce entropy across locations and ensures overall system health.
