As the cloud has enabled more complex applications everywhere, some of the most vital computing occurs at the edge of the network, from video processing to image recognition. Yet with these innovations come challenges, including latency, cost, and security. This is where SCS steps up.

Across the school, networking and systems researchers tackle how best to take advantage of the edge’s many benefits while ensuring it’s secure and practical. Together they are shaping the future of the field.

In this video, several SCS professors, research scientists, and students explain the power of the edge, their research, and what to expect next. Interim Chair Mostafa Ammar, Professor

Ellen Zegura, Associate Professor Ada Gavrilovska, Research Scientist II Ketan Bhardwaj, Professor Umakishore Ramachandran, and Ph.D. student Harshit Gupta show how we are dominating in this field.
