This short paper is more of theoretical architectural proposal of the edge cloud framework. At the core remains the idea of integrating SDN and NFV to create and open source edge cloud infrastructure also to facilitate new application delivery.
Motivation
Future unavoidable challenges facing the centralized cloud computing.
a)Massive data volume generated because of explosion of Internet of Things(IoT), makes it hard for centralized data centers to handle this huge volume of data.
b)Latency requirements can be tremendous challenge for many applications which involves end to end communication between edge devices and centralized data centers
c) Difficult in portability across different cloud platforms leading to monopoly, which inhibits the innovation.
Important Ideas
1. The paper argues that improvement in Edge cloud orchestration and application delivery approaches and mechanisms are important necessities to enable edge cloud.
2. HomeCloud Framework- This novice idea is for the edge cloud to effectively deliver future new portable applications over a shared edge infrastructure.
3. To generate the shared edge infrastructure, the paper proposes to coherently integrate Software Defined Networking(SDN) and Network Function Virtualization(NFV),which are complimentary technologies.
Framework architecture
Contributions of the paper
1. Development of HomeCloud orchestration and application delivery framework in Edge Cloud, which integrates the SDN and NFV.
2. Discusses two use cases which can adapt the proposed HomeCloud framework.
3. Development of HomeCloud framework testbed to demonstrate s simple multiparty chatting applications.
Strengths
1. With the ever increasing research in the area of SMART home applications, HomeCloud framework proposed promises to efficient open source infrastructure to further facilitate in this area.
2. The proposed idea is open source and tries to break the monopoly of the large corporations. This will further drives competition among the proprietary owners,bring down the costs and help the end users greatly upon implementation.
3. The framework at its core has the idea to integrate the SDN and NFV. It argues how it can both benefit the stakeholder's involved and make further leaps technically by doing integrating these two ecosystems.
4. The framework considers different aspects of the both NFV and SDN and clearly addresses different components, their functionalities, interfaces in a intricate manner.
5. The detailed steps provided to ensure a successful delivery of edge cloud application on the HomeCloud and application of these on two use cases provides much more details.
Weakness
1. There is no details about the test results of the framework.
2. There is no much comparison made against any of the existing framework in Edge cloud paradigm. How HomeCloud is better when compared to them ?
3. This is just a high level conceptual paper with detailed implementation details of the framework non-existent in the paper.
4. The testbed considers simple chat application between two clients. This leads to question the scalability and whether the framework can handle complex applications.
5. Application portability is not addressed across different cloud platforms.
Discussion points
1. What are the challenges that we can foresee in the integration of SDN and NFV which is at the core of the HomeCloud idea ?
2. The paper discusses about breaking the monopoly of the large corporations with this framework. Is it totally possible and what are its challenges ?
3. What are the different use cases we can implement using this approach ?
4. How can we handle hetergenous IoT devices effectively in this framework ?

D#1, D#3, and somewhat D#4 are exactly the points we raised today. Good job.
