Title
Always on
Description
Edge devices are by default considered as being always on even when they do nothing. This causes energy waste, but enables real-time services (like in-hospital patient monitoring or cloud gaming) anytime, or at least when needed.

Context
Normal operation
Feature
Switching off devices
Tactic intent
Consuming energy to enable real-time services all the time
Intent measure
Uptime of a service (availability) and energy use
Countermeasure
Cloud computing faced a similar problem in the past; countermeasures for the edge may build upon those created for the cloud.
