+The amount of computers around us is growing exponentially.
+With it, the systems in which they operate are becoming more and more complex.
+Many of these computers are so called \emph{edge devices}.
+For a special class of systems, \glsxtrlong{IOT} systems, they perform the interaction with the world.
+Powered by microcontrollers, these specialised computers have little memory, slow processors, and support slow communication methods.
+On the other hand, they are also cheap, tiny, consume little energy, and can easily equipped with various sensors and actuators.
 
-\end{center}
+There is a great variety within edge devices but also between edge devices and more conventional computers.
+However, they do have to communicate with the conventional computers.
+This results in semantic friction, an impedance mismatch.
+Developing and maintaining such systems is expensive and error prone.
