The traditional centralized architecture,known as cloud computing,cannot accommodate such user demands in an efficient and timely manner.To cope with this problem,edge computing architectures have been proposed with the core concept of that“data processing should be close to the data source”.Firstly,paradigms of edge computing was introduced,including micro data center,cloudlet,fog computing,and mobile edge computing,and the advantages of edge computing from the perspective of resource integration was discussed.Then,related works of resource optimization in edge computing was reviewed and summarized,and these works was discussed via three directions,i.e.,computation offloading,distributed caching and high performance transmission,corresponding to core resources as computing,storage and communication.Finally,trends of development and future directions were presented as well.
