Edge computing is when data collected from the sensors is not being computed centrally in the cloud, but rather stored and computed on the Edge devices (nodes) of an IoT network. Thus we can look at Edge computing as some kind of cloud computing optimization method, since some part of the IoT application is shifted on the Edge which is actually in contact to the physical world. Why would we now go back to computing on the Edge of the network when we have all moved to the cloud? There are numerous reasons, but one of them is definitely the…

I’ll give you one of the definitions I liked the most: “The digital twin is the virtual representation of a physical object or system across its life-cycle. It uses real-time data and other sources to enable learning, reasoning, and dynamically re-calibrating for improved decision making”. Digital twin concept is present since 2003. and it was used by NASA for pairing of technologies for its Apollo missions. Idea behind digital twins is to make sure that outages and system breakdowns are reduced to the bare minimum. How to achieve this? Well, this digital replica uses software analytics for all the historical and…
