| Título do trabalho | Understanding the Design of Edge AI-based Systems |
| Resumo do trabalho |
The rapid convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing has accelerated the emergence of Edge AI systems, in which intelligent capabilities are deployed across the device--edge--cloud continuum under heterogeneous, resource-constrained, and dynamic conditions. Despite growing adoption, the architectural foundations of these systems remain fragmented and under-documented, limiting our ability to understand how such architectures are structured and justified in practice. We conducted a comprehensive empirical study grounded in systematic repository mining and evidence-based analysis of open-source projects, based on 400 architectural fragments extracted from 57 high-activity repositories. To structure extraction, coding, and interpretation, we applied a multi-level coding scheme explicitly aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 (architecture description evidence), ISO/IEC 25010 (quality requirements), and ISO/IEC 30141 (IoT reference capabilities), enabling the identification of recurring patterns, design priorities, and documentation practices. From this corpus, we derived an architectural axis by levels of abstraction: Meta-Architecture, Platform/Infrastructure, System, and Subsystem, and characterized recurring capabilities and quality concerns observable in repositories. Finally, we synthesized a catalog of 52 practitioner-validated architectural guidelines, formally aligned with the adopted ISO taxonomies. Together, our results provide an empirically grounded blueprint of open-source Edge AI architectural practice, supporting both engineering decision-making and future research. |
