“…Mobile ad hoc networks is an example of such a network level opportunistic computing, where nodes that are close to each other are providing packet forwarding facility to each other. Network level augmentation has been extended to delay tolerant network as well [31,32,33,34,35], where physical movements of computing elements are used to create "store and carry" networks. Such networks are still examples of network level opportunistic computing because the opportunistic actions (i.e., packet forwarding) are limited to the network layer.…”

The growing need for low-latency access to computing resources has motivated the introduction of edge computing, where resources are strategically placed at the access networks. Unfortunately, edge computing infrastructures like fogs and cloudlets have limited scalability and may be prohibitively expensive to install given the vast edge of the Internet. In this paper, we present Opportunistic Edge Computing (OEC), a new computing paradigm that provides a framework to create scalable infrastructures at the edge using end-user contributed resources. One of the goals of OEC is to place resources where there is high demand for them by incentivizing people to share their resources. This paper defines the OEC paradigm and the involved stakeholders and puts forward a management framework to build, manage and monitor scalable edge infrastructures. It also highlights the key differences between the OEC computing models and the existing computing models and shed the light on early works on the topic. The paper also presents preliminary experimental results that highlight the benefits and the limitations of OEC compared to the regular cloud computing deployment and the Fog deployment. It finally summarizes key research directions pertaining to resource management in OEC environments.
