Blueprint Overview/Introduction

The Smart Data Transaction for CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) Blueprint implements methods to adapt the edge network, possibly dynamically, to reduce pressure on network bandwidth and expand the potential range of the edge network's reach while reducing power consumption. The two main features of the blueprint are data sharing between edge nodes and the addition of support for low-power radio connections to sensors.

In Akraino Release 6 the Smart Data Transaction for CPS blueprint consists of a test implementation of these features based on EdgeX and Kubernetes technologies, suitable for evaluating the concepts and identifying future directions.

Use Cases
