An intermediary software infrastructure for edge services

We describe the goals and architecture of a new framework that aims at facilitating the deployment of adaptation services running on intermediate edge servers. The main goal is to guarantee robustness and quick prototyping of functions that should integrate mobile/fixed-network services. Moreover, we intend to design a distributed architecture with the purpose of guaranteeing efficient delivery.
