Abstract:
This paper illustrates the use of an innovative process model that represents a systematic and scientific ap- proach, using well-established methodologies and techniques from the field of Information Systems and telecommunications. Organizations in the field are pushing for innovation and proposing new technologies and standards, but these proposals often have fundamental differences and tend to primarily target industrial consumers, which have use cases that require reliable and stable systems and methodologies. Despite the known potential benefits of Edge Computing in industrial settings, there is still a lack of scientific rigor in related research and development processes. We contribute to the field by addressing this shortcoming, and by providing a scientific evaluation and a tailored version of a pre-existing method, which allowed us to build a practical solution that tackles the needs of industrial partners, while following a scientific approach. As a result, we managed to bu
ild an innovative design for a large industrial company operating in Edge Computing, while thoroughly assessing the progress from idea formulation to the complete solution.
