[oe-sync] New PoC description

[Schuster, Rolf, Vodafone Group]

I am fine with the PoC proposal. The key thing for me is to demonstrate the improvement of customer experience through Edge Computing live - rather that with videos. And be able to compare it directly with a backend cloud solution. Also it is good that we can have multiple instances of the demo and show it at fairs, conferences and meeting rooms anywhere on the planet...

Yes, the timeline is quite long, however, I guess Satya has to squeeze that into the schedule of his students...

@Valerie, Yun Chao and Adrian, are you still able to bring that PoC proposal on the MEC PoC list? Just as another channel to market? This would be great!

All the best
Rolf.

Hi all,

My take: if you look at the requirements section, I think that makes good sense. In order to maximise the value from a PoC, being able to show it to an audience without special device requirements and special network coverage and having portability of the PoC is mind are good points. Also, being able to compare the 2 situations (computation at edge versus fully in cloud) should help any audience to more easily understand the true benefit. Fine with those aspects.
How this can fit into the ETSI MEC framework: Valerie, can you share your thoughts on this?

Hi everyone,
 Because of my travel to MEC, Vodafone Newbury, SOSP, etc.  over the past few weeks, I have not been participating in the discussion of the draft 
PoC that Valerie had sent out.    Late last week, I finally had a chance
to read the draft PoC and some of the comments in the discussion
threads.   Here are my thoughts:

1. Using augmented reality (AR) as the basic application to show off the value of low latency and cloudlets is an excellent idea.  Kudos to Valerie
for proposing this.      

2. The specific AR approach being proposed seems to require significant 
site customization (e.g. adding CMU-specific content, etc.).   This means
that it is not easily portable to another site.  You will need site-specific content for the demo to be meaningful at the new site.

3. The timeline seems too aggressive.   Virtually all the implementation
work will be done by the CMU team, and I know in depth how is already
on everyone's plate.   Generating custom content takes time, even if it
is already available and only has to be repackaged.

Using Valerie's PoC as a starting point, I have created a description of a
new PoC.   In some ways this more aggressive (functionally) than the
original PoC.    At the same time, it is less agressive timewise and content-wise.

Please review and share your comments.   One clarification:  I am proposing
this as  a PoC for the Open Edge Computing initiative.    Whether this is also
a PoC for MEC is something that Vodafone, Huawei and Intel should decide.
I don't know if this timeline is acceptable for the MEC PoC.  Also, I recall that a decision about MEC PoCs has to be made very soon.  Not sure
if this is already too late for consideration.   If it is attractive as a MEC PoC
also, then I will delighted that we can get a two-fer.

  Cheers
                     -- Satya
