Overview

Why Searching on Edge?

• Pervasive cameras on the edge
• High commercial/societal value, e.g. crime detection
• Infeasible to send all data to cloud due to high bit rate property and bandwidth constraint

Need for Collaborative Processing

Ubiquitous Underpowered Cloudlets

• Limited processing capacity
• Limited energy
• Scarce wireless bandwidth (e.g., 4G LTE)

Coordinating the Wimpy and the Beefy

• Minimal transmission cost using the wimpy cloudlet only
• Minimal computation time using the beefy cloudlet only
• Solution: collaborative distributed search processing
