Overview of Edge Data Discovery
2018
This document describes the problem of distributed data discovery in
edge computing. Increasing numbers of IoT devices and sensors are
generating a torrent of data that originates at the very edges of the
network and that flows upstream, if it flows at all. Sometimes that
data must be processed or transformed (transcoded, subsampled,
compressed, analyzed, annotated, combined, aggregated, etc.) on edge
equipment along the way, particularly in places where multiple high
bandwidth streams converge and where resources are limited. Support
for edge data analysis is critical to make local, low-latency
decisions (e.g., regarding predictive maintenance, the dispatch of
emergency services, identity, authorization, etc.). In addition,
(transformed) data may be cached, copied and/or stored at multiple
locations in the network on route to its final destination. Although
the data might originate at the edge, for example in factories,
automobiles, video cameras, wind farms, etc., as more and more
distributed data is created, processed and stored, it becomes
increasingly dispersed throughout the network and there needs to be a
standard way to find it. New and existing protocols will need to be
identified/developed/enhanced for distributed data discovery at the
network edge and beyond.
