The project “High-performance Collaborative Edge Computing Enabling Smart City Applications: Framework and Methodologies” led by Prof. CAO Jiannong, Director of the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Things (RIAIoT), Dean of Graduate School, Associate Director of University Research Facility in Big Data Analytics, Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Professor in Data Science, and Chair Professor of Distributed and Mobile Computing in the Department of Computing, was awarded a funding of HK$50.821 million from the Research Grants Council’s Theme-based Research Scheme (TRS) 2023/24.
The project aims to build a new smart city computing infrastructure enabled by collaborative edge computing with edge/cloud collaboration, city-scale edge network deployment and built-in AI services. During development, the research team will propose a Collaborative Edge Computing Framework (CECF), which provides new abstractions and functionalities for geo-distributed edge nodes, hence supporting technical requirements of collaboration and sharing of computing and data resources in performing application tasks.
The project will help address many key challenges in large-scale resource management, performance-guaranteed task scheduling, resource-aware edge AI and secure data sharing, thus enabling advanced smart city applications.
