Edge computing

Abstract IoT edge computing is a new paradigm “in the domain” for performing calculations and processing at of network, closer to user source data. This relatively recent, and, together with cloud fog computing, there may be some confusion about its meaning implications. paper aims help practitioners researchers better understand what industry thinks is, expected benefits challenges associated this paradigm. We conducted survey using semi-structured in-depth questionnaire collect qualitative data from relevant stakeholders 29 multinational companies qualitatively analyzed these Constructivist Grounded Theory (Charmaz) method. Several participated in coding process (collaborative coding). To ensure consensus on constructs that support theory thus improve rigor research, we an intercoder agreement analysis. From analysis, have derived substantive analytic perceive challenges. The scope validity refers surveys processed it analyzes “what is” rather than explaining causality or attempting predictive generalizations.

Additionally, testing phase shows results aligned ISO/IEC TR 30164 standard.
