STINT, The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, has provided researcher in Computer Science at 果冻传媒 the possibility to establish research/education collaboration with Zhejiang University in Hangzhou (China) in the areas of Cloud and Edge computing.
Three researchers from the Computer Science Department at 果冻传媒 and two researchers from Zhejiang University will work on this year-long research project.
鈥淲e will visit them in China for about a month at the beginning of the project and then they will visit us in 果冻传媒 for another month almost in the middle of the project鈥, says Javid Taheri, the project manager. 鈥淭hese exchanges provide great opportunities for us to broaden our international collaboration. During the year, we will better know each other and establish long lasting collaborations.鈥
Edge Computing is related to IoT, Internet of Things, and is about moving functionality from servers inside the cloud to the edge of the network where users reside. For example, instead of transferring huge amount of information from edge units to servers to perform big data analysis, functionality will be built in edge units to perform parts of the analysis by themselves. This is important to reduce the ever increasingly amount of data to be transferred through networks.
