Optimal dynamic edge device deployment: the challenges

With the increase of IoT, one can witness the deployment of more and more IoT devices. These devices are mostly characterized by heterogeneous mobility and connection patterns and limited resources such as memory, computing resources and energy. To overcome this, some of their computing tasks should be offloaded to a cloud or edge devices. In order to serve them as much as possible, there is a need to predict the kind and amount of resources these devices will request and the location of these resources. Some edge resources may need to be deployed sporadically and temporarily at different locations based on IoT devices needs and mobility. This talk will present the different challenges that have to be addressed to provide IoT devices with the best services.
