Overview of Edge Computing
This course module will help you to learn why Edge Computing is a new and important development in the computing landscape. The lecture is organized in three parts. The first part defines Edge Computing and lists the different ways in which it can deliver value. The second part presents experimental evidence that low latency, one of the key attributes of Edge Computing, can substantially improve user experience. The third part describes how Edge Computing enables two new classes of applications: wearable cognitive assistance, and scalable real-time video analytics.
What you will learn:
- Define Edge Computing
- Describe ways Edge Computing can deliver value
- Recite experimental evidence on how end-to-end latency can improve the user experience
- Explain two new classes of application for Edge Computing

Instructors
Mahadev Satyanarayanan
Mahadev Satyanarayanan (Satya) is the Carnegie Group Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. His multi-decade research career has focused on the challenges of performance scalability, availability and trust in information systems that reach from the cloud to the mobile edge of the Internet. In the course of this work, he has pioneered many advances in distributed systems, mobile computing, pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Most recently, his seminal 2009 publication, The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing, has inspired many technical efforts worldwide at the intersection of mobile computing, cloud computing, and IoT and has led to the emergence of Edge Computing (also known as Fog Computing).
Dr. Weisong Shi is a Charles H. Gershenson Distinguished Faculty Fellow and a Professor of Computer Science at Wayne State University. There he directs the Mobile and Internet Systems Laboratory, Connected and Autonomous Driving Laboratory. He is an IEEE Fellow and a Distinguished Scientist of ACM. He was the founding steering committee chair of ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC), the author of the first Edge Computing book.
