Frontier: Resilient Edge Processing for the Internet of Things

Summary: Frontier treats IoT workloads as continuous data-parallel streaming queries, replicating operators across edge devices to exploit network path diversity. Adaptive backpressure routing and disconnection recovery improve throughput 1.3–2.8× under unreliable wireless connectivity. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
