Just in the past month, the two largest public cloud players – Amazon Web Services Inc. and Microsoft Corp. – announced major new initiatives around edge computing. Intel Corp., along with several other notable companies, launched a new Edge Native Working Group on Tuesday. And telecommunications giants Deutsche Telekom and China Mobile both weighed in with recent advances in the edge space.

According to a report by Globe newswire, the Eclipse Foundation has launched the Edge Native Working Group. It is a vendor-neutral and code-first industry collaboration that aims to push the adoption of open source software for edge computing.

After being in the works for a while, the Eclipse Foundation launched another special interest working group – this time, it’s for edge computing.

When vendors band together to promote the adoption of a standard via a consortium, it’s usually a sign that it will benefit managed service providers (MSPs). At the Edge Computing World Conference this week, the Eclipse Foundation, which now oversees a variety of open source projects including a successor to Java dubbed Jakarta, announced the formation of the Edge Native Working Group.

This week, the Eclipse Foundation announced the launch of the Edge Native Working Group at the Edge Computing World conference, in San Jose, California. The foundation will strive for the evolution and broad adoption of open-source software for edge computing.

The Eclipse Foundation launches the Edge Native Working Group to deliver production-grade code for open source edge computing. The new working group includes founding members ADLINK, Bosch, Edgeworx, Eurotech, Huawei, Intel, Kynetics, and Siemens.

The Eclipse Foundation launched a new working group this week focused on edge computing.

The Eclipse Foundation announced an “Edge Native Working Group” to develop open source software for edge computing, starting with its Eclipse ioFog and Eclipse fog05 projects. Members include Adlink, Bosch, Edgeworx, Eurotech, Huawei, Intel, Kynetics, and Siemens.

Unter dem Dach der Eclipse Foundation ist mit der Edge Native Working Group eine neue Arbeitsgruppe entstanden, die sich dem Thema Edge-Computing widmet.

The launch of the Edge Native Working Group sees the likes of ADLINK, Bosch, Edgeworx, Eurotech, Huawei, Intel, Kynetics, and Siemens collaborating as founding members.

ADLINK Technology joined today the OpenADx working group to work with us along the autonomous driving toolchain. ADLINK created and published the Eclipse Cyclone DDS project. ADLINK is interested to build together with us a cool middleware based on Eclipse Cyclone DDS and Eclipse iceoryx.

Discover in this article from Venture Beat the goals, plans and benefits of forming the Edge Native Working Group at the Eclipse Foundation. In a nutshell, the working group focuses on the challenges it sees as endemic to edge computing across industries: a heterogenous hardware landscape, low bandwidth, latency, limited power, and security. The Edge Native Working Group is housing, among other projects, the Eclipse ioFog and Eclipse fog05 projects. Founding members include Adlink, Bosch, Edgeworx, Eurotech, Kynetics, Huawei, Intel, and Siemens.

Light Reading highlights how the Edge Native Working Group will drive the evolution and broad adoption of open source software for edge computing. The development of various layers of software at the network edge will enable industries to build customized applications for their own specific implementations. This includes applications for retail, carrier environments, 5G, IoT, and Industry 4.0 or smart manufacturing deployments.
