Distributed processing framework for cooperative service among edge devices.

This paper proposes a new distributed processing framework to realize cooperative service among edge devices. The proposed framework provides service developers with an execution environment on the edge device. Since it provides abstracted sensor values and camera images, service developers can easily design their service without the specification of peripheral devices such as sensors, cameras, etc. Additionally, our framework performs reliable automatic recognition among neighbor edge devices. Therefore, the service developers can realize distributed service on neighbor edge devices according to the recognition information. This paper implements the proposed framework and creates a person detection service as the demonstration. The experimental results show the demonstration service works on the embedded Linux board.
