Title of Talk: EdgeFaaS for Open Edge Scenarios

Abstract: 

It used to be the app store model to open up capabilities, but hardware vendors are always at the bottom. Provide a BSP or SDK for the operating system layer to call, and then encapsulate a PaaS layer to share. But computing network convergence devices are not the same, through the EdgeFAAS to the edge computing network fusion capabilities are open. We've used SONiC. Such converged computing devices will be deployed in large numbers in industrial parks, small data centers and home gateways. It has the ability of network access convergence and computing power scheduling. EdgeFAAS opens up the ability to edge scenarios. 
AI learns in two methods, supervised and unsupervised. In unsupervised machine learning, the AI takes inputs and creates a response. Overtime, the AI slowly realizes the best responses. In supervised learning, the AI takes an input and gives an exact output. This machine learning teaches the AI what is wrong and right, so in the future, it can distinguish by itself.
