Message-oriented middleware for edge computing applications

Abstract

Edge computing is an emerging paradigm which aims to leverage the ever increasing amount of computational resources at the edge of the network to satisfy the stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements of many modern Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios. This PhD thesis explores challenges and solutions of message-oriented middleware (MOM) for edge computing applications. In particular, we focus on QoS optimization and message delivery guarantees under the constraints of geographic dispersion, client mobility, dynamic resource availability, and privacy policies.
