Hi Everyone, The working group participants are currently focusing on writing a new whitepaper. Along with that goal we spent today's call as a working session to go through content and comments that people contributed to the document so far. During our conversation today we focused on areas such as strategy to define terms like 'edge' and 'AI'. We also went into a bit of detail on our desire to cover hardware considerations, and the group gravitated towards having follow-up articles to do deep dives on certain topics that the paper doesn't have the bandwidth to cover. Our next ECG call is on Monday (March 03), 2025 at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Looking forward to seeing you on the next meeting! Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation

Hi Everyone, Thank you to all of you who were able to attend the call today. The group focused on the Edge & AI whitepaper on the weekly call today. We are still in the brainstorming and information gathering phase, which is open for one more week, and we threw out some more thoughts, ideas and preferences for the paper. We had a great discussion on the call. we touched on the following topics: - ELASTIC EU project and how to relates to edge * https://elasticproject.eu - Our preferences on providing recommendations and concrete guidance vs keeping the paper more theoretical - New EU Commission Telco + AI whitepaper * https://smart-networks.europa.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ai_ml_white-pap… - HW at the edge, including cost considerations and tradeoffs - Starting on our next call, we will focus on the whitepaper's scope, timeline and next steps For more detailed notes, please see the meeting etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-computing-group Our next ECG call is on Monday (February 17, 2025) at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Hi Everyone, We' had a great call this Monday where we kept focusing more deeply on the new whitepaper in the topic area of the intersection of edge computing and AI. We are still in the brainstorming and information gathering phase, which will be followed by setting a scope and timeline. We've spent most of our time this Monday on the following items: - Use cases * AI-enabled private edge clouds * Use of federated learning for automotive and aviation - Definitions to include in the paper - keep them short and for the purpose of setting context for the paper * Edge, fog, extreme edge * AI, ML definitions - We also talked about the group's preferences on how to approach security and privacy in the whitepaper * Standalone chapter * Part of the use cases For further notes, please see the meeting etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-computing-group Our next ECG call is on Monday (February 03, 2025) at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Hi Everyone, We' had a great call this Monday where we focused more deeply on the new whitepaper in the topic area of the intersection of edge computing and AI. As we are still in the brainstorming phase, we have been collecting topic ares and have been debating the scope of the paper. We also discussed the opportunity of planning for multiple papers, as it seems like we might have enough content for that. We've made progress today with the following items: - Beth has written up an outline for the paper, which the group went through on the call - Some details we started to discuss for the paper: * Audience: People in the SW infrastructure space, Telecommunications, Academia and Research communities came to mind * Use cases: the group came up with a great list of options, some of which we might publish separately from the paper - Smart Homes - Healthcare - Drones - Aviation - Automotive - IoT - Federated ML For further notes, please see the meeting etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openinfra-edge-computing-group Our next ECG call is on Monday (January 27), 2025 at 1600 UTC: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

The Intersection of Edge and AI Whitepaper - Call for Collaborators
by Ildiko Vancsa 09 Dec '24

09 Dec '24

Hi, The OpenInfra Edge Computing Group is currently exploring to write its next whitepaper in the topic areas of Edge and AI, and how they intersect. As AI is developing quickly, the devices need to keep up with the demand of processing, moving and storing large amounts of data. In many use cases, this cannot be achieved without using Edge Computing methods and architectures. Our working group will focus on uncovering requirements towards infrastructure, the building blocks that are already available, gaps, architectures, and more. Do you have an AI use case or case study to share? Is your Edge infrastructure already utilized for AI workloads or is planned to be? We would like to have your story in the whitepaper! __The Edge Computing Group will start working on the whitepaper in January, 2025. If you are interested in participating in the conversations and contributing content, please reply to this thread or reach out to me directly.__ You canThe first two whitepapers of the OpenInfra Edge Computing Group: - Cloud Edge Computing: Beyond the Data Center - https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/cloud-edge-computing-beyond-the-da… - Edge Computing: Next Steps in Architecture, Design and Testing - https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/edge-computing-next-steps-in-archi… Please keep an eye out for the announcements on next steps and dates for the upcoming working group meetings. For more information on the working group, please check out our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group I’m looking forward to collaborating with you!

Hello Ildikó, Great and timely idea. Indeed, there are several open problems in Federated ML that Edge and AI could be a better match. I am interested in collaborating to the white paper.

Edge Computing + AI will be a game changer. We have been using using edge offload to enable autonomous flights of ultralight drones at the Living Edge Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. The low latency of edge computing is crucial to this use case. Details can be found in two recent papers: 1. "Democratizing Drone Autonomy via Edge Computing" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3583740.3626614[1<https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3583740.3626614%5b1>]) that was published in the 2023 IEEE/ACM Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC) and 2. "The OODA Loop of Cloudlet-based Autonomous Drones" which will be presented next week at the 2024 IEEE/ACM Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC) (PDF attached, since it is not yet online at IEEE) If this use case would be of interest to the white paper, we are happy to contribute material from these papers.

Next Edge WG call is in January, 2025!!
by Ildiko Vancsa 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hi All, With the upcoming holiday period the availability of our core group is very limited during December. For that reason we decided to cancel those calls and let everyone focus on the end-of-year tasks. __The next Edge WG call will be held in January, 2025.__ The first half of next year the working group will focus on creating a new whitepaper, which will target the intersection of AI and Edge Computing. As AI is developing quickly, the devices need to keep up with the demand of processing, moving and storing large amounts of data. In many use cases, this cannot be achieved without using Edge Computing methods and architectures. We will deep dive into this topic on the next working group call. For more information about the working group and upcoming meetings, please see our wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group In the meantime, Happy Holidays and see you in 2025! ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation
