Abstract

My research provides an insight into the management and service provision of storage and processing (computing) services, at the Edge of the Internet. The research starts with the development of knowledge in the technological background that a system has to be made in, to provide flexible, secure and diverse services to an ever-growing user base, efficiently and fast. We find soon that this user base is already quite diverse, and most of the needed services have to be provided very far from the devices from which the data to be served originates. Thus, current services are generally provided with very high latencies because of the distance that data generally has to travel to the service provider and back to the user. The study of a system that can provide these services closer to users and still be flexible enough to provide any kind of service to any user across the Internet thus has to be conducted. The research of this system starts with a study on the feedback and control mechanisms needed, for computing nodes to manage themselves and provide feedback within a controlled, stable, secure and diverse computing environment, at the Edge. This study is followed by another work, looking into the development of a new architectural view, specific to this Edge environment, to provide the best quality of service while keeping this environment both flexible and effective in service provision. These are the first steps in developing a system that can provide any storage or processing service to the Internet or its Edges. All considered, a plan was made, to pursue the research needed to develop parts of this system, or at least the equivalent, modular parts/algorithms, to be able to form a flexible and efficient Edge-based computing service provision system, by the end of the PhD.
