NSF Workshop on Grand Challenges in Computing on the Edge (COME)

边缘计算是一种新的计算模式，它将通信、计算、控制和存储资源放置在互联网的边缘，紧邻移动设备、传感器和最终用户，以及新兴的物联网。像“云小程序”和“微型数据中心”这样的术语？在文献中被用来指代这些位于边缘的小型数据中心，而？用于表示使用大量协作的客户端或边缘设备来执行存储、通信和管理的体系结构。它们都与主导云计算和移动计算的大规模数据中心和核心网络的主题形成了鲜明对比。该奖项将支持组织一次研讨会，将行业从业者、学术研究人员和政府利益相关者聚集在一起，讨论未来5-10年边缘计算研究的愿景、挑战和机遇。研讨会的研究议程可能会对美国和其他地区产生广泛和变革性的影响，因为它确定了重大挑战，并为未来的计算创新奠定了基础。此外，研讨会将吸引早期职业学者以及来自不同背景和代表性不足的群体，将他们与对边缘计算、网络和服务感兴趣的广泛的学术和工业研究人员社区联系起来。

Edge computing is new computing paradigm in which the resources for communication, computation, control and storage are placed at the edge of the Internet, in close proximity to mobile devices, sensors, and end users, and the emerging Internet of Things. Terms such as "cloudlets? and "micro data centers? have been used in the literature to refer to these small, edge-located data centers, while ?fog? has been used to denote architectures that use a collaborative multitude of client or edge devices to carry out storage, communication and management. They all represent counterpoints to the theme of massive data centers and core networks that has dominated discourse in cloud and mobile computing. This award will support the organization of a workshop to bring together industry practitioners, academic researchers, and government stakeholders to discuss the vision, challenges, and opportunities for edge computing research for the next 5-10 years. The research agenda of the workshop has the potential for broad and transformative impact on the US and beyond by identifying the grand challenges and lay the foundation of future innovations in computing. Furthermore, the workshop will engage early career scholars and those from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups to connect them with a broad community of academic and industrial researchers interested in edge computing, networking and services.
