Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue investigates the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing, two revolutionary technologies that are redefining the landscape of modern computing. AI brings the power of both machine learning and intelligent decision making. In contrast, edge computing offers the advantage of localized data processing. This reduces latency by reducing the load on cloud data centers and enhancing data security. The data are processed locally and in a distributed manner, which spreads out the attack surface and reduces the need to transmit sensitive information.
The convergence of these technologies leads to groundbreaking applications across various sectors, including healthcare, smart cities, industrial automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Contributions in this Special Issue explore how AI algorithms can be optimized for edge devices, considering their limited resources. It also delves into how edge computing can facilitate real-time AI applications by processing data closer to its source. Additionally, the Special Issue examines security and privacy concerns in the intelligent edge network, addressing how to safeguard sensitive information in decentralized environments.
This Special Issue aims to provide insights into the current state and future prospects of intelligent edge systems, offering a comprehensive understanding for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts in the field.
These edits enhance readability and ensure that the text flows smoothly, maintaining the original meaning and emphasis on the importance of the Intelligent Edge.
