This article presents a proposal for FLEC architecture, which solves problems resulting from the rigidity of the traditional IoT architecture and edge computing. FLEC architecture is a flexible and advanced IoT system model characterized by environment adaptation ability and user orientation ability. We utilize COSAP, a system configuration platform based on a multiagent framework, as an implementation procedure for FLEC architecture. Furthermore, this article presents its application case study of a healthcare support system for a sports event with many participants. Finally, we demonstrate the contribution of this proposed architecture to problem solution in edge computing.
