Event Details

The objectives of this inaugural meeting are: 
- To present in details the massively distributed cloud use-case (aka, the Fog/Edge Computing paradigm) 
- To identify persons/institutions that might be interested to take part to such a WG; 
- To identify on-going related activities addressed inside but also outside the OpenStack community (short presentations will be given); 
- To define a roadmap and identify key persons that can contribute to make OpenStack cooperative by default.

The major difference with respect to existing WGs such as the Large-Scale deployment one, is that we would like to address challenges related to the geo-distribution of resources and WANwide exchanges (one single cloud/cell but deployed across multiple small sites). Concretely, we want to study how the vanilla OpenStack code can support the Fog/Edge Computing use-case while minimising the changes on the OpenStack internals.
