Workshop on Integrating the Edge with the Enterprise for Planning and Management (EDGE)

Enterprise systems can leverage the Edge in many ways. The application of RFID tags and other smart sensors in tracking inventory is well known. Through enhanced visibility at low installation costs, pervasive computing systems can provide enterprises with clues to long-term planning. Apart from mere sensing, pervasive computing systems can even autonomously detect and react to events as they occur, and can enable real time control of resources in an enterprise. Pervasive computing also provides opportunities for new business models such as context and location sensitive advertising to travelling customers and on-the-go transactions using mobile payment systems.
