Like so many of us, I recently needed to search online for a Covid 19 vaccine appointment. I found a site that did a particularly good job of identifying locations with open appointment slots near me and enthusiastically began a frantic cycle of refreshing, entering my information and requesting the
A discussion with Mahadev Satyanarayanan, the Carnegie Group University professor of computer scienceIn November 2020, the Deloitte Cloud Institute invited Mahadev Satyanarayanan, the Carnegie Group University Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, as the first Deloitte Cloud Institute Fellow.1 Dr. Satyanarayanan (Satya as he’s popularly known)
Wearable cognitive assistants (WCA) are anticipated to become a widely-used application class, in conjunction with emerging network infrastructures like 5G that incorporate edge computing capabilities. While prototypical studies of such applications exist today, the relationship between infrastructure service provisioning and its implication for WCA usability is largely unexplored despite the

These places, known as internet exchange points, were located at the
This position paper examines a spectrum of approaches to overcoming the limited computing power of mobile devices caused by their need to be small, lightweight and energy efficient. At one extreme is offloading of compute-intensive operations to a cloudlet nearby. At the other extreme is the use of fixed-function hardware
IMAGE CREDIT: Pavan Trikutam -- Unsplashed In the mid-1980s, Bell Labs conducted a human-factors study to understand how telephone users conceptualized the telephone network. Within the switching engineering division, we thought of the network as a complex collection of switching, transmission and operation systems interconnected by a web of copper
When Mahadev Satyanarayanan, group professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University and an expert in edge computing, needed a network to test his edge computing applications, he knew he wanted something that was low in latency, reliable and not susceptible to any performance degradation. Satyanarayanan turned to Amazon Web

The emergence of edge computing introduces new complexity in the creation of distributed mobile applications. Application designers can now deploy application functionality in three or more tiers of compute infrastructure to optimize bandwidth, latency, cost, user experience and privacy for their users and their own operations. However, the diversity of
In this interview, Satya shares how he started thinking about distributed computing infrastructure for mobile devices back in 1993, how much of his vision has come true in the decades since, and his views on the future of cloud, edge, iot, and much more. https://overtheedgepodcast.com/podcasts/three-decades-of-vision-for-edge-with-mahadev-satya-satyanarayanan-of-carnegie-mellon-university/

Every day, it seemed a new, more complex neural network was introduced (e.
