Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is now a reality. With an increasing number of” smart” devices, a recent interest in Edge/Fog Computing has challenged IoT platforms to support general-purpose workloads on arbitrary devices with the same performance and reliability guarantees as the Cloud. We present a design of an IoT platform called OneOS, resembling a Distributed Operating System, to provide a single-system image of the entire network of computers. OneOS operates over an abstract machine comprising a grid of high-level language runtimes modeled as Actors. We demonstrate an evaluation context replacement technique for mapping the POSIX interface over the networked system to run regular JavaScript and Python programs on OneOS without any modification.
