| 9:35 am - 9:55 am | Topic：Predicting and Optimizing Food Factory Environments by Akraino CPS Robot blueprint family Inoue Reo , Fujitsu
Abstract: This presentation provides an example of applying LF Edge Akraino "Robot basic architecture based on SSES Blueprint" to a food factory. In food factories, the ambient temperature often affects the completion of products. In particular, in the production of bean curd skin "yuba", a traditional Japanese food, temperature is an important factor. Because heat denaturation of soy protein is utilized. However, food factory needs to take outside air to prevent high-humidity and condensation by cooking heating. As a result, the temperature becomes unstable. Therefore, it is a problem to predict and control the temperature change in the food plant. To solve this problem we used the Blueprint to build a sensor network and analyze data to create a temperature prediction model for the factory based on past outdoor temperatures and temperatures in the factory. | ||||||

| 11:35 am - 11:55 am | Akraino White Paper: Akraino Platform Security ArchitectureDaniil Egranov, Arm & Akraino Security Sub-Committee Abstract: During Akraino blueprint development, blueprint owners may put a lot of effort into analyzing security threats and implementing security features in their projects. However, in many cases, blueprint owners assume that the blueprint execution environment is well protected and does not require their attention. Such assumptions may lead to attacks using platform-level vulnerabilities that interfere with the blueprint functionality and cause the loss of private or critical data. For this reason, the requirements for platform-level security should be considered an important part of blueprint requirements. The Akraino Platform Security Architecture Whitepaper describe core security requirements for Akraino platforms and blueprint execution environments. | ||||||

| 2:20 pm - 2:40 pm | Title: Advanced Backplane Technologies for Integrated Edge Cloud: Exploring PCIe, Ethernet, and Beyond Abstract: The rapid growth of edge computing and the ever-increasing demand for low-latency, high-performance applications have underscored the critical role of advanced backplane technologies. These technologies enable seamless integration of edge cloud infrastructures, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in a wide range of use cases. In this paper, we delve into the latest advancements in backplane technologies, particularly focusing on PCIe and Ethernet, and their applications in integrated edge cloud systems and beyond. We start by identifying the specific problems that need to be addressed for integrated edge cloud systems, considering the constraints imposed by the cluster size and numbers. Traditional scale-out technologies, such as increasing switch port density, are not suitable for integrated edge cloud systems due to the limited number of servers. As a result, integrated edge cloud systems for small-sized networked clusters require new networking approaches, efficient management, cloud-native architecture, and cost-effective solutions. Next, we present our proposed solution for a purely PCIe-based backplane networking system, as introduced in our R6 research. Following this, in our R7 research, we discuss an Ethernet implementation for integrated cloud systems. We provide details on the connections and hardware design for both solutions, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. Finally, we explore the potential benefits of utilizing the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) in backplane technology for integrated edge cloud systems. We discuss the opportunities and challenges this approach presents and consider the implications of UCIe adoption in the future development of backplane technologies for integrated edge cloud systems. In conclusion, advanced backplane technologies, particularly those based on PCIe and Ethernet, are essential for the seamless integration of edge cloud infrastructures. As edge computing continues to evolve, further research and innovation in backplane technology will be instrumental in unlocking new possibilities and pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in integrated edge cloud systems and beyond.
