Edge Computing

The document describes the abstract architecture for the W3C Web of Things. This architecture is based on a set of requirements that were derived from use cases for multiple application domains, both given in this document. A set of modular building blocks are also identified whose detailed specifications are given in other documents. This document describes how these building blocks are related and work together. The WoT abstract architecture defines a basic conceptual framework that can be mapped onto a variety of concrete deployment scenarios, several examples of which are given. However, the abstract architecture described in this specification does not itself define concrete mechanisms or prescribe any concrete implementation.

This recommendation aims to propose the reference architecture of collaborative decentralized machine learning for intelligent IoT services.

This draft Recommendation specifies the framework of capability exposure function (CEF) in edge computing for IMT-2020 networks and beyond. The scope of this document includes: - Requirements of capability exposure function in edge computing; - Framework of capability exposure function in edge computing; - Functionalities and reference points of capability exposure function in edge computing; - Procedures of capability exposure function in edge computing.
