Introduction
• A computing paradigm that processes data near the
source of generation.
• Contrasts with cloud computing by emphasizing local,
decentralized processing.
• Examples: IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, smart
sensors.
Importance of Edge Systems
• Reduces latency in critical applications.
• Enhances data privacy and security.
• Minimizes dependency on centralized cloud
infrastructure.
• Enables real-time decision-making.
Key Characteristics of Edge
Systems
•Proximity to Data
Source
•Decentralized
Architecture
•Low Latency
Processing
•Resilience and
Reliability
How Edge Systems Work
• Data is collected from sensors or devices.
• Processing is done locally using edge devices or gateways.
• Only necessary data is sent to the cloud for further
analysis.
Components of Edge Systems
•Edge Devices: Sensors, actuators, or user devices.
•Edge Gateways: Bridge between edge devices and networks.
•Network Infrastructure: Facilitates connectivity.
•Edge Platforms: Software for data processing and management.
