An examination of virtualization technologies for enabling intelligent edge computing

Abstract

At the frontier of computing today is the Internet of Things, rapidly connecting things and incorporating them into its larger ecosystem. Driving the rapid rise of the Internet of Things is the Edge Computing framework. While the Edge Computing framework has its shortcomings, it can be enhanced with the use of Artificial Intelligence and Virtualization technologies. This paper discusses several papers and earlier surveys focused on enabling virtual services in Intelligent Edge Computing. Few works are dedicated to advancing virtualisation's incorporation in Intelligent Edge Computing. However, the current works studied provide an insight into the research’s direction. Furthermore, future directions are stated and highlighted to encourage research in this domain
