A Comparative Research on Open Source Edge Computing Systems

With the development of edge computing, open source communities have put forward several edge computing systems. This paper discussed about edge computing and its current situation, then presented typical open source edge computing systems such as EdgeX Foundry, Azure IoT Edge, CORD, Apache Edgent and Akraino Edge Stack, and gave a comparison about them on their characteristics. A comparison study on their characteristics were given to help users to understand these open source edge computing systems and make choices.
