Standardization of Edge Configuration

The Industrial Internet of Things requires standardization of communication technologies and protocols applied in that context. An emerging architectural concept is the so called "Edge" and its associated components and applications. The Edge Computing paradigm requires standardization of interfaces to enable cross-vendor interoperability between the different involved products and across the architectural layers. The current results in this direction of the "Labs Network Industrie 4.0" pre-standardization testbed will be presented in this paper and a brief overview given on further organizations working on the standardization of implementations in the edge context.
