Abstract


Edge Computing (EC) is an emerging technology that has made it possible to process the large volume of data generated by devices connected to the Internet, through the Internet of objects (IO). The article provides an introduction to EC and its definition. The integration of EC in those contexts would imply an optimisation of the processes that are normally executed in a cloud computing environment, bringing considerable advantages. The main contribution of EC is a better pre-processing of the data collected through devices, before they are sent to a central server or the cloud.
