A Framework for Distributed and Decentralised Edge Computing Through Distributed Trust

Dr. Ioannis Psaras

Abstract: The emerging Internet of Things needs edge-computing - this is an established fact. In turn, edge computing needs infrastructure decentralisation. What is not necessarily established yet is that infrastructure decentralisation needs a distributed model of Internet communication and governance. We will discuss the features of a decentralised IoT and edge-computing ecosystem and list the components that need to be designed, starting from service-oriented architectures to edge resource allocation techniques and finally to the design of decentralised trust schemes. We will conclude with the challenges that need to be addressed and propose directions for future research. (Extended Abstract)

Biography: Dr. Ioannis Psaras is an EPSRC Fellow and University Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at University College London. He is interested in resource management techniques for current and future networking architectures with particular focus on routing, caching and congestion control. He has recently been focusing on function-centric networks to realise distributed and decentralised edge computing, also referred to as “computing in the network”. He holds a prestigious EPSRC Early Career Fellowship in the area of “content-oriented and service-centric edge-computing architectures”. He has been heavily involved in the effort to shift the Internet towards an Information-Centric Networking environment and lately has been focusing on the application of blockchain technologies to future Internet architectures.

Dr. Psaras has extensive experience in leading cutting-edge research and managing the development and implementation of proof-of-concept prototypes. He has received five Best Paper Awards for his work and has attracted more than £2.5M in research funding to date from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK), the EU FP7/H2020 framework programmes and from Innovate UK.
