Cloud computing is the practice of using a set of remote servers hosted on the internet to process, store and manage data, instead of doing it locally. This practice, widely used nowadays, has many advantages but also quite a few downsides, such as high latency, low bandwidth... To face these issues, cloud computing can be combined with another paradigm called edge computing which brings computation at the edge of the network. Edge computing has quite a few challenges, among which service management. Edge nodes are exposed to suffering from diverse type of failures, such a degradation, loss of connectivity... It is important to make sure that they offer highly available services, and are extremely resilient.

This work explores the feasibility of grouping the edge nodes in order to offer high availability and resiliency, and does so by focusing on searching a solution that fits the constraints of a particular environment : the manufacturing sector. After having defined these constraints, an exploration of potential solutions and mechanisms is conducted. This explorations leads to the use of a leader-driven distributed system approach. The idea of this system is to always have a leader and a successor. The leader edge node can be seen as a directly available edge node, which receives data that needs to be processed, while the successor can be seen as hot standby edge node. The rest of the edge nodes in the system participate in elections in order to become successor. The elections take place when either the leader or the successor fails.


In order to prove the feasibility and the interest of this solution, a small proof-of-concept has been implemented, using GNS3 (a network simulator) and Lubuntu virtual machines. This proof-of-concept, even though relatively simple, allows to simulate and test different failure scenarios. Those tests have proven that the approach used by the system is viable. However, it remains to be seen what the impact of such a system would be in a real-life environment, and how it would scale. Furthermore, the approach of grouping the edge nodes in a cluster is of interest and could potentially be used in other applications.

'Multisystemic Resilience' brings together for the first time in one volume a wide range of resilience experts. By placing side-by-side the writing of psychologists, epigeneticists, ecologists, architects, disaster specialists, engineers, sociologists and public health researchers (to name just a few of the disciplines represented), this innovative volume provides insights into how to research resilience across systems and the many possible solutions to problems that threaten the physical and mental health of individuals, the wellbeing of our communities and the sustainability of our planet. Every chapter provides a detailed review of resilience from one disciplinary perspective, then uses examples drawn from research and case studies to show that thinking about the resilience of multiple systems is a better way to understand processes of change and sustainability.

Some refugees who survive wars recover and thrive; others do not. This study sets out to discover what successful survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime found instrumental for both their survival and their mental health. The aim is to contribute to the understanding of resilience, here understood as the ability to recover from misfortune or change, in order to contribute to the psychosocial rehabilitation of survivors of war crimes and other traumatic events - to discover how war-refugees may be...
