Applications of edge analytics: a systematic review

Abstract

With the development and expansion of the Internet of Things, computing at the edge is becoming increasingly important, especially for applications where real-time response is important. In this paper, we made a systematic review of the literature on analytics at the edge. We extracted data from 40 selected primary relevant studies from the complete set of 419 papers retrieved from scientific databases. In our analysis of the full text of every primary study we investigated: temporal distribution of primary studies, publication types, domain and application areas of the primary papers, used machine learning and deep learning methods. We also elaborated on the main themes of the primary studies and recommended some possible interesting future research possibilities.
