“…While Wasm has been identified as a solution to the cold start problem in serverless platforms, this study concluded that further work is needed and suggested the support of multiple runtime environments in addition to Wasm. Another study [97] investigated the potential of Wasm to transform serverless computing. Wasm's strengths, such as reduced cold start times, efficiency, easy portability, and compatibility with popular programming languages, were evaluated using a benchmarking suite comprised of thirteen different functions.…”

This paper explores the relationship between two emerging technologies, WebAssembly (Wasm) and the Internet of Things (IoT). It examines the complementary roles of these technologies and their impact on modern web applications. First, it delves into the capabilities of Wasm as a high-performance binary format that allows developers to leverage low-level languages for computationally intensive tasks. Second, it seeks to explain why integration of IoT and Wasm is important. Third, it discusses the strengths and limitations of various tools and tool chains that are crucial for Wasm development and implementation, with a special focus on IoT. Fourth, it presents the state-of-the-art with regard to advances that combine both technologies. Fifth, it discusses key challenges and provides future directions. Lastly, it provides an in-depth elaboration of the future aspects of Wasm, with a strong focus on IoT, concluding that IoT and Wasm can provide developers with a versatile toolkit that enables them to balance productivity and performance in both web and non-web development scenarios. The collaborative use of these technologies opens up new possibilities for pushing the boundaries of web application development in terms of interactivity, security, portability, scalability, and efficient computational capabilities. As web and non-web embeddings continue to evolve, the integration of IoT and Wasm will play a crucial role in shaping the future of innovative application development. The key findings of this extensive review work suggest that existing tool sets can be easily conglomerated together to form a new era in WebAssembly–IoT infrastructure for low-power, energy-efficient, and secure edge–IoT ecosystems with near-native execution speed. Furthermore, the expansion of edge–IoT ecosystems can be augmented with prospective cloud-side deployments. However, there remains a strong need to more cohesively advance the amalgamation of Wasm and IoT technologies in the near future.

Artificial intelligence-generated image content (AIGIC) is produced through the extraction of features and patterns from a vast image dataset, requiring substantial computational resources for training. This study aims to enhance image processing and response time on terminal devices by utilizing 1 edge computing technology to offload specific training tasks to edge nodes. Additionally, task offloading and resource allocation strategies are developed to effectively generate image content on terminal devices. Edge computing aims to execute computing tasks in close proximity to data sources; however, the computing resources of edge devices are limited. Therefore, the development of suitable resource allocation strategies for resource-constrained environments is crucial in edge computing research. Serverless computing, which heavily relies on container technology for program hosting, is recognized as one of the most 1
