Edge computing is a distributed, open IT architecture that features decentralized processing power, enabling mobile computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. In edge computing, data is processed by the device itself or by a local computer or server, rather than being transmitted to a data centre. Edge computing has been proven to have a significant impact on user quality of service, and it is anticipated to be an necessary component of all digital business by as early as 2022. The proposed research will democratize edge computing by exploiting unused heterogeneous computing resources and recycled resources of existing infrastructures to create distributed edge computing clusters. With our industry partner Kings Distributed Systems, we will make edge computing accessible to all rather than restricted to the control of cloud service providers and network operators. This will reduce existing monopoly power in this area and open an entirely new market for Canadian businesses and even local governments, who will be able to act as edge providers themselves. This new market will in turn accommodate many Internet of Things applications, making feasible smart home, building, transportation and city applications and magnifying Canada's impact in the IT and smart services sectors. In addition, HQP training is a key focus of the program, and a diverse group of 21 talented HQP will go on to help further advance Canada's edge computing technologies.

Edge Computing是一种分布式开放的IT体系结构，具有分散的处理能力，启用移动计算和物联网（IoT）技术。在边缘计算中，数据由设备本身或本地计算机或服务器处理，而不是传输到数据中心。事实证明，边缘计算对用户服务质量有重大影响，预计到2022年，它将成为所有数字业务的必要组成部分。 拟议的研究将通过利用未使用的异质计算资源和现有基础架构的再生资源来创建分布式边缘计算群体来使边缘计算民主化。借助我们的行业合作伙伴国王分布式系统，我们将使所有人都可以访问Edge计算，而不是仅限于云服务提供商和网络运营商的控制。这将降低该领域的现有垄断权，并为加拿大企业甚至地方政府开设一个全新的市场，他们将能够充当边缘提供商本身。这个新市场反过来又可以容纳许多物联网应用程序，从而使可行的智能家居，建筑，运输和城市应用程序以及放大加拿大对IT和智能服务部门的影响。此外，HQP培训是该计划的重点，一组有21个才华横溢的HQP组成的多样化将继续帮助进一步促进加拿大的边缘计算技术。
