CESMII Leaders Featured at
15th International Conference on eScience
|
|
CESMII leaders Prakashan Korambath, Haresh Malkani and Jim Davis recently presented their poster, “Streaming Workflows on Edge Devices to Process Sensor Data on a Smart Manufacturing Platform” at the 15th International Conference on eScience in San Diego.
This paper describes the concept of Streaming Workflows that collect data from sensors connected to edge devices and pass on the heavy load of computation to on-demand cloud services including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. The data streaming is done on the edge device while contextualization and modeling of the data are done with on-demand cloud resources. Many workflows using this edge-cloud architecture will be deployed on the cloud-based Smart Manufacturing (SM) Platform(TM) developed by CESMII.
