Industrial cyber-physical systems rely increasingly on data from IoT devices and other systems as continuously emerging use cases implement new intelligent features. Edge computing can be seen as an extension of the cloud in close physical proximity, in which some of the typical cloud computing loads are beneficial to run. This paper studies data analytics application development for integration of industrial IoT data and composition of application services executed on edge and cloud. A solution is designed to support heterogeneous hardware and run-time platforms, and focuses on the service layer that enables flexible orchestration of data flows and dynamic service compositions. The unified model and system architecture implemented, using the open Arrowhead Framework model, is verified through two representative industrial use cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
