Edge Computing: Um Estudo sobre Ferramentas de Simulação e suas Características

Edge Computing (EC) is a technological paradigm that emerged with the aim of fulfill the need of applications for low latency. Despite the advances in data sharing and processing among remote entities using cloud and mobile computing, low latency and availability requirements led to the distribution of processing power to the edge of the network, through EC. This article presents an overview of EC, and its impact on the Internet of Things. As main contribution, this article presents a classification of simulation tools for EC, allowing new services to be validated using these tools
