Edge

This book explores new developments, ideas, and concepts in intelligent edge-embedded technologies for the digitising industry. The work is based on recent research results and activities in edge industrial computing, artificial intelligence (AI), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital twin technologies. Each chapter builds on the research, developments and innovative ideas generated by AI4DI, ANDANTE and TEMPO ECSEL JU, as well as other European research projects.

The intersection of AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing has kindled the edge AI revolution that promises to redefine how we perceive and interact with the physical world through intelligent devices. Edge AI moves intelligence from the network centre to the devices at its edge, entrusting these endpoints to analyse data locally, make decisions, and provide real-time responses.

The book aims to provide a deep dive into state-of-the-art developments and practical uses of edge computing in the current technological scenario. This book summarizes the state-of-the-art developments and future research challenges for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on edge computing, along with major trends that need to be considered. Take a ride with us through the age of edge computing and look at all the different ways we could make our lives in cities better.
