Zusammenfassung:The maturity of machine learning (ML) development and the decreasing deployment cost of capable edge devices have proliferated the development and deployment of edge ML solutions for critical IoT-based business applications. The combination of edge computing and ML not only addresses the development cost barrier, but also solves the obstacles due to the lack of powerful cloud data centers. However, not only the edge ML research and development is still at an early stage and requires substantial skills normally missed in resource-constrained communities, but also various infrastructure constraints w.r.t. network reliability and computing power, and business contexts from the resource-constrained environments require different considerations to make edge ML applications context aware through smart and intelligent runtime strategies. In this paper, we analyze representative real-world business scenarios for edge ML solutions and their contexts in resource-constrained communities and environments. We identify and map the key distinguished contexts of distributed edge ML and discuss the impacts of these contexts on data and software components and deployment models. Finally, we present key research areas, how we should approach them, and possible tooling for making edge machine learning solutions smarter in resource-constrained communities and environments.
