Outline of edge computing that supports cyber physical system

Abstract

Recently, the word “edge computing” is often heard along with the word IoT. In this explanation, we will provide the background behind the emergence of “edge computing”, which is a key technology for realizing IoT, and the functions that it must have. Furthermore, by introducing the “My-IoT development platform” which is being developed as an example of future edge computing efforts, we will clarify the current IoT issues and describe future prospects.
