Dear Gayashin,
thank you very much for your response.
It's great to hear that edgent is or will be used in academic work.
Overall its good to see that edgent is actively used.
And I know about the time boundaries you surely have as PhD Student (about to
finish mine soon...) but nonetheless I think there are many things you could do
to contribute in little time. It is always good to have many peoples
participating in discussions or bringing in their views and use cases. And if
you use edgent for academic purposes this is great for the project and helps to
'spread the word' about it.
So thank you very much for your mail, and although we have 'lost' most of the
seasoned edgent programmers (of the current core), feel free to ask questions
if there are any and we'll always find a way to figure it out (I guess there
are many very talented people on the list which are able to dig into the code
if necessary)

Hi all,
I am a phd student at University of Melbourne who is doing my research in
Edge computing + Distributed Stream Processing. I have been following
edgent (and I have followed Christofer to plc4x as well since I have seen
him mentioning it here the work that he has done) for some time now. In
fact I have sent couple of emails some time back but haven't been able to
do anything significant. I have also used edgent in one of my ongoing
research work even though it has not been published yet. I thought I'd send
an email after seeing this thread.
To simply put, I would like to help with the rebooting edgent, I think I
would be able to use it in a mutually beneficial way such that I could use
edgent to improve my research and get involved with edgent and edgent may
get some features/bug fixes/etc as a result. But I have to be honest that
being a phd student, I may not be able to be very active. But I am willing
to do as much as possible in the free time I have. Let me know what you
think and may be a way we can work together.
Thank you.
Best,
Gayashan
