End-user API for edge computing (startup) (report + software)

There will be four deliverables for this work package, giving three successive programming models for edge computing. Each programming model will be both a report and software. The software will be tightly coordinated with the corresponding deliverables of WP 3, which gives the runtime infrastructure. The connection between the two is the API of the runtime layer: the programming model layer will target this API. The definition of this API is a critical part of the success of the edge computing platform and will be the subject of collaboration between WP 3 and WP 4. • The first-year deliverable will be a basic programming model, which is a completed and optimised version of the Selective Hearing model of the SyncFree project. • The second-year deliverables will be an extended programming model, with extensions for the scenarios from WP 2. • The third-year deliverable will be a final programming model, improved for scalability and robustness through feedback from the evaluations of WP 7, as well as a design for an end-user programming interface for the infrastructure provider.
