About Workshop

The workshop will primarily focus on addressing the challenges encountered in deploying and developing edge computing applications using the serverless paradigm. As we know, serverless computing, also known as Function as a Service (FaaS), has gained significant momentum in recent times and is deemed the next-generation cloud service delivery paradigm. Serverless computing will help users, and developers smoothly and seamlessly deploy their applications for Edge computing environments like sensor-based technologies, the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, big data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence. All the service providers of the major league, i.e., Amazon, Google, Microsoft, have successfully launched commercially usable serverless computing platforms. Although the services are commercially available and functional, several unresolved and challenging issues persist.
