Abstract

In this paper we present a scalable and dynamic intermediary infrastructure, SEcS (acronym of "Scalable Edge computing Services"), for developing and deploying advanced Edge computing services, by using a cluster of heterogeneous machines. Our goal is to address the challenges of the next-generation Internet services: scalability, high availability, fault-tolerance and robustness, as well as programmability and quick prototyping. The system is written in Java and is based on IBM's Web Based Intermediaries (WBI) [71] developed at IBM Almaden Research Center.
