An Examination of Virtualization Technologies for Enabling Intelligent Edge Computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the cutting edge of computing technology that connects things and integrate them into large ecosystem. Recently, the Edge Computing architecture is driving the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT). While the Edge Computing framework has its own drawbacks, these may be mitigated by the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtualization technologies. This research study examines a number of publications and research surveys on enabling virtual services in Intelligent Edge Computing. Few research studies are dedicated to increasing the inclusion of virtualization in Intelligent Edge Computing. This research study briefly reviews the virtualization technologies and also discusses about the future research directions to promote more research in this field.
