Impact of Mobility on Discovery in COIN
draft-defoy-coinrg-mobile-discovery-00
Abstract
Service, data and resource discovery is an important aspect of
computing in the network. While this aspect has been studied,
including in COINRG, this document looks more specifically at the
influence of mobile devices on COIN discovery. Related research
challenges are described and discussed.

1. Introduction
Discovery in COIN relates to edge services including computing
resources, computing services and data. In this document, we focus
on the influence of mobile devices on discovery in COIN, both when
mobile devices are consuming or producing edge computing services.
We use the following terms:
* Edge computing service: a general concept including offering
computing and storage resources to other devices or to a platform,
through an API that enables allocating computing/storage
resources, onboarding a program, running a program; offering a
computing service such as an API to a software program running on
the device; or offering a data service such as a data stream or an
API to access data generated by, or stored on, the device.
* Edge computing service provider: a device or platform providing
such a service. We especially consider cases where a mobile
device acts as a provider.
* Edge computing service consumer: a (possibly mobile) device
discovering, requesting and obtaining access to such a service.
* Network provider: an entity providing network connectivity to the
mobile devices discussed in this draft. It can be a 5G network
operator, or an enterprise or home network operator.
This document is related, and aims to be complementary, to
[I-D.mcbride-edge-data-discovery-overview], which studies data
discovery in COIN environments.
