An Actor-Based Framework for Edge Computing

Published:05 December 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

The Actor model provides inherent parallelism, along with other convenient features to build large-scale distributed systems. In this paper, we present ActorEdge, an Actor based distributed framework for edge computing. ActorEdge provides straitforward integration with existing technologies, while enabling application developers to dynamically utilize computational resources on the edge of the clouds. ActorEdge has proven to outperform cloud computing options by providing superior quality of service, measuring a 10x lower latency, 30% less jitter, and greater bandwidth. Using this framework, programmers can easily develop and deploy their applications on a heterogeneous system, including cloud servers/data centers, edge servers, and mobile devices.
