REAM: Resource Efficient Adaptive Monitoring of Community Spaces at the Edge Using Reinforcement Learning

An increasing number of community spaces are being instrumented with heterogeneous IoT sensors and actuators that enable continuous monitoring of the surrounding environments. Data streams generated from the devices are analyzed using a range of analytics operators and transformed into meaningful information for community monitoring applications. To ensure high quality results, timely monitoring, and application reliability, we argue that these operators must be hosted at edge servers located in close proximity to the community space.
