Abstract
A gateway that may be implemented in a local network and that communicates with a cloud network to provide efficient services in a weakly connected setting is disclosed. The gateway may be configured to enable services that efficiently utilize resources in both of the gateway and the cloud network, and provide a desired quality of service while operating in a weakly connected setting. The gateway may provide data collection and processing, local network services, and enable cloud services that utilize data collected and processed by the gateway. The local network may include one or more sensors and/or video cameras that provide data to the gateway. In a further implementation, the gateway may determine an allocation of one or more tasks of a service between the gateway and a cloud network by determining the allocation of the one or more service tasks based on desired service latency.
