Edge Computing Standardisation Gaps

This report presents an approach reported in AIOTI, for the definition and identification of key Edge
Computing standardisation gaps in several initiatives. This report then starts to address the work done
within the relevant SDOs that need to cooperate in order to solve these standardisation gaps.

In the context of EUOS and AIOTI, the synergy and integration of IoT/IIoT and edge computing, is
considered to be a part of the paradigm shift from centralised solutions to decentralised and distributed
computing architectures, in which information processing is located close to the edge, where “things”
(e.g. sensors/actuators, devices, machines and humans) produce and utilise that information, knowledge
and related experience.

The purpose of this document is to promote a structured discussion within the EUOS, AIOTI and edge
computing standardisation community and to provide consolidated technical elements as well as
guidance and recommendations.
