Abstract

We present the architecture of a scalable and dynamic intermediary infrastructure for developing and deploying advanced Edge computing services, by using a cluster of heterogeneous machines. Our main goal is to address the challenges of the next-generation Internet services: scalability, high availability, fault-tolerance and robustness. Moreover, SEcS offers an easy, "on-the-fly" and per-user configuration of services. The architecture is based on IBM's Web Based Intermediaries (WBI) [8, 9].
