A Survey on Edge Computing in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics

Edge computing is a decentralized computing paradigm with low latency and high response time. This paradigm provides services for end-devices at the network edge and brings together IoT, big data, and mobile computing into an integrated and ubiquitous computing platform. The on-demand computing power and the processing ability for data from enddevices are needed at the network edge. More recently, edge computing capable with artificial intelligence technologies has received much attention in the research literature. This paper will review the recent research literature about using edge computing in bioinformatics and health informatics, and provide challenges, opportunities and further research directions.
