Introduction
This workshop will consider when
and where Mobile-Edge Computing (MEC) would fit within
network operators mobile broadband deployment
strategies. We will assess use-cases and the global
market opportunity for MEC, while considering benefits,
trade-offs and the impact on legacy networks and
evolving network architectures
Questions to be answered
- Can MEC really deliver ultra-low latency, high bandwidth and real-time access to radio network information which can be leveraged by local applications?
- Will deployment of various services and caching content at the network edge alleviate congestion of the network core and efficiently serve local demand?
- Can data security at the edge of the network be assured?
- Will new MEC industry standards be required?
- How can deployment of MEC platforms provide service differentiation and new revenue streams for operators, vendors and third-parties?
- How can MEC support emerging use-cases including:
- video analytics
- location services
- internet of things
- augmented reality
- critical communications

Pre-Workshop Keynote Edge computing is a new paradigm in which the resources of a small data center are placed at the edge of the Internet, in close proximity to mobile devices, sensors, and end users. Terms such as "cloudlets," "micro data centers," "fog," and "mobile edge cloud" have been used in the literature to refer to edge-located data centers.
Located just one wireless hop away from associated mobile devices, they offer ideal placement for low-latency offload infrastructure to support emerging applications. They are optimal sites for aggregating, analyzing, and distilling bandwidth-hungry sensor data from devices such as video cameras. In the Internet of Things, they offer a natural vantage point for organizational access control, privacy, administrative autonomy, and responsive analytics. In vehicular systems, they mark the junction between the well-connected inner world of a moving vehicle, and its tenuous reach into the cloud.
Uniquely enabled by edge computing is a new class of applications that provide wearable cognitive assistance. We will examine the opportunities and challenges of edge computing, with emphasis on the value proposition of edge-enabled mobile applications. |
Creating Value at the Edge
Mobile Computing Pioneer & Group Professor of Computer Science
Over a multi-decade career, our keynote speaker has pioneered advances in distributed systems, mobile computing, pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things. His seminal 2009 publication “The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing” inspired many technical efforts worldwide at the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing, and has led to the emergence of Edge Computing
