This paper describes the characteristics of edge systems and the edge organizations in which these systems operate, and make initial recommendations about how such systems and organizations can be created to serve the needs of users at the edge.
Abstract
Software architectures and software development methods must be created that enable user innovation at the edge so that users can be as effective as possible in the face of changing missions and unanticipated needs. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of edge systems and the edge organizations in which these systems operate, and make initial recommendations about how such systems and organizations can be created to serve the needs of users at the edge.
