Abstract:

Edge computing is a new type of computing models that performs computing tasks at the edge of the network.Compared with cloud computing,it can respond to user’s needs more quickly and reliably.Starting from the shortcomings of cloud computing,the concept and general architecture of edge computing were illustrated,and then two reference frameworks proposed by industry alliances were elaborated.Four challenges of edge computing and their latest research progress were summarized.With the development of theory and technology related to edge computing,it will become a key technology to promote the upgrade of Internet of things (IoT) services.For this reason,two applications of edge computing in manufacturing and security monitoring were introduced.

Key words: edge computing, cloud computing, architecture
