Towards Liquid AI in IoT with WebAssembly : A Prototype Implementation

Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT) system typically comprises numerous subsystems and devices, such as sensors, actuators, gateways for internet connectivity, cloud services, end-user applications, and analytics. Currently, these subsystems are built using a wide range of programming technologies and tools, posing challenges in migrating functionality between them. In our previous work, we have proposed so-called liquid software, where different subsystems are developed using a consistent set of technologies and functions can flow from one computer to another. In this paper, we introduce a prototype implementation of liquid artificial intelligence features, which can be flexibly deployed at the cloud-edge continuum.
