Thank you for participating in the Edge Computing Adoption Survey. This survey should take you less than 20 minutes to complete. The survey is organized by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Your input will help researchers, teachers, and students understand scope, goals, definition, components, technologies, challenges, and future directions for organizations implementing IoT and Edge solutions. All responses to this survey will be anonymized and reported in research and academic forums. Responses will be collected until May 30, 2021.

 

We use SurveyMonkey as our survey platform. Learn more about SurveyMonkey’s Privacy Policy here. By completing the survey, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to SurveyMonkey for processing.

Question Title

* 11. We have already deployed/are currently deploying IoT solutions that include Cloud solutions (private, public or hybrid cloud)

Question Title

* 12. We have already deployed/are currently deploying IoT solutions that include Hybrid solutions (Edge + Cloud)

Question Title

* 13. What type of devices implement your edge infrastructure (sensors, actuators, constrained devices, gateways, servers, micro-datacenters)?

Question Title

* 14. What kind of functionality (workloads, applications) do you deploy on edge infrastructure (data aggregation and filtering, data analytics, video processing, artificial intelligence, control logic, data exchange between multiple nodes, etc.)? 

Question Title

* 15. What are the criteria used to decide the function placement/service of the edge computing (complexity, device capacity, latency)?

Question Title

* 16. What are the computation devices at the edge (virtual machines/ containers/ network virtualization/system virtualization)?

Question Title

* 17. How do you deploy new functionality updates on your edge nodes? Which is the mechanism used for deploying them (e.g., cloud-managed over the air updates, locally-managed over the air updates, etc.)?

Question Title

* 18. If cloud-managed over the air updates, do you use cloud (e.g. Azure IoT Edge, AWS GreenGrass, etc.) to manage/provision/monitoring edge software? Or do you use other platforms (EdgeX, IoFog, KubeEdge, etc.)?

Question Title

* 19. Have your IoT Edge solutions automatized any other process of the application lifecycle (e.g., device provisioning, build, testing, monitoring, etc.)?

Question Title

* 20. What do you think about the necessary effort in the development of IoT edge solutions versus traditional IoT cloud solutions? Could you estimate the percentage of the difference?

Question Title

* 21. What are your organization’s main concerns/challenges for IoT/Edge solution deployment? (data collection & analytics processes; privacy; securing network, devices or data; regulatory and safety certification/compliance; integration complexity; costs of maintenance/management; scalability; connectivity device to edge to cloud; vendor lock-in; time to market or delivery acceleration; End-to-end IoT solution monitoring and management)

Question Title

* 22. Future perspectives. What are the emerging trends/opportunities/perspectives?

Question Title
