Blockchain-based Platform for Cooperative Edge Computing

Abstract

Edge computing has emerged as a pivotal technology in the 5G network era, extending the capabilities of cloud computing to meet the growing demand for low latency and real-time processing. While it offers numerous benefits, edge computing also presents various challenges. Unlike cloud servers, edge servers possess limited computational power and storage capacity. Rather than offloading data and computation tasks to remote clouds, which introduces high latency, this research aims to develop an efficient and secure platform that fully leverages the capabilities of edge servers. This is achieved by enabling collaborative work among edge servers operated by different infrastructure providers. In summary, the research aims to create an efficient and secure platform that fully harnesses the capabilities of edge servers, allowing them to work collaboratively. This approach addresses challenges associated with limited resources and high latency, while also promoting low latency, efficient resource utilization, enhanced security, and collaborative innovation among infrastructure providers.
