Discussion
fog05 descriptors are a superset of the ones in ETSI. In other words: fog05 supports MEC-compliant descriptors
MEC service repository accesses the network layer to determine, for example, which users are active in a specific zone. ETSI defines APIs that apps and edge platforms can leverage
Focus on monetizing the RAN is encouraging, since carriers literally run the Cloud
Open source usage is mostly for operations support, not business support level
Universal Hardware management
Eclipse Vorto model could be used to define hardware properties
Vortolang: DSL → models of IoT devices
