WebAssembly for agile offloading in edge computing

Latency, privacy and the spread of IoT devices gave rise to edge computing. Code compatibility is a major issue in edge computing because of heterogeniety and is required to ensure portability and migratability. We examine some of the existing solutions for running portable code and migration and compare their advantages and limitations. Then, we present our proposed solution, WebAssembly, a web standard for binary code, with an overview of its potential and the edge it wields over existing solutions. We propose two novel methods to implement migration for WebAssembly and evaluate the performance.
