Edge Computational Intelligence for AI-Enabled IoT Systems

Edge computational intelligence is an interface between edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This interfacing represents a paradigm shift in the world of work by enabling a broad application areas and customer-friendly solutions. Edge computational intelligence technologies are just in their infancy. Edge Computational Intelligence for AI-Enabled IoT Systems looks at the trends and advances in edge computing and edge AI, the services rendered by them, related security and privacy issues, training algorithms, architectures, and sustainable AI-enabled IoT systems.

Together, these technologies benefit from ultra-low latency, faster response times, lower bandwidth costs and resilience from network failure, and the book explains the advantages of systems and applications using intelligent IoT devices that are at the edge of a network and close to users. It explains how to make most of edge and cloud computing as complementary technologies or used in isolation for extensive and widespread applications. The advancement in IoT devices, networking facilities, parallel computation and 5G, and robust infrastructure for generalized machine learning have made it possible to employ edge computational intelligence in diverse areas and in diverse ways.

The book begins with chapters that cover Edge AI services on offer as compared to conventional systems. These are followed by chapters that discuss security and privacy issues encountered during the implementation and execution of edge AI and computing services The book concludes with chapters looking at applications spread across different areas of edge AI and edge computing and also at the role of computational intelligence in AI-driven IoT systems.
