Читать книгу Understanding Infrastructure Edge Computing - Alex Marcham - Страница 16

As previously described, an edge is itself a contextual entity. By itself, an edge cannot exist; it is the creation of two things at the point at which they interact. This somewhat floaty definition is one part of what has made establishing a concise and clear definition of edge computing difficult, especially when combined with the many different factors and dimensions that edge computing will influence.

This book will focus on the accepted definition from the Open Glossary of Edge Computing which uses the physical and role‐based separation provided by using the last mile network as a line of demarcation between the infrastructure edge and device edge to provide separation and clarity.
