Edge Computing Architecture: Definition, Requirements and Enablers
Abstract
The terminus of edge computing has been carried over from mobile networks to automation without alteration, although we are faced with a completely different historical situation here. But automation systems differ from IT networks because currently we do not find centralized, cloud-based server structures but local processing power connected via proprietary interfaces. The talk focuses on the requirements of automation technology in the light of newly introduced cloud connectivity for automation systems. Specific needs of real-time behavior, scalability and security along with the requirements of vertically and horizontally integrated cyber-physical systems are introduced. Since we deal mostly with brown-field applications in automation, the roadmap for upgrading existing equipment plays also a fundamental role.
