Edge computing is an emerging computing paradigm that aims to solve the cloud limitations by bringing its applications closer to the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Thanks to its horizontal scalability, this paradigm leverages from the rapid growth of connected devices and makes it in its favor. As a result, it improves the scalability and reduces the latency. However, the adoption of this paradigm alone does not guarantee to meet the quality of service (QoS). Due to the heterogeneity of those devices and their requirements, the QoS is more influenced by the nature of the devices that are responsible for offloading the task, and by their location, which complicates the offloading process. To address this issue, in this paper, we present a tasks orchestration platform for IoT. It focuses on the role of edge computing in order to guarantee a high scalability and enable the self-capabilities of IoT. We also present a tasks …
