ISBN: 9811561869
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
As an important enabler for changing people’s lives, advances in artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications and services are on the rise, despite being hindered by efficiency and latency issues. By focusing on deep learning as the most representative technique of AI, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how AI services are being applied to the network edge near the data sources, and demonstrates how AI and edge computing can be mutually beneficial. To do so, it introduces and discusses: 1) edge intelligence and intelligent edge; and 2) their implementation methods and enabling technologies, namely AI training and inference in the customized edge computing framework. Gathering essential information previously scattered across the communication, networking, and AI areas, the book can help readers to understand the connections between key enabling technologies, e.g. a) AI applications in edge; b) AI inference in edge; c) AI training for edge; d) edge computing for AI; and e) using AI to optimize edge. After identifying these five aspects, which are essential for the fusion of edge computing and AI, it discusses current challenges and outlines future trends in achieving more pervasive and fine-grained intelligence with the aid of edge computing.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
This book provides the state-of-the-art development on security and privacy for fog/edge computing, together with their system architectural support and applications. This book is organized into five parts with a total of 15 chapters. Each area corresponds to an important snapshot. The first part of this book presents an overview of fog/edge computing, focusing on its relationship with cloud technology and the future with the use of 5G communication. Several applications of edge computing are discussed. The second part of this book considers several security issues in fog/edge computing, including the secure storage and search services, collaborative intrusion detection method on IoT-fog computing, and the feasibility of deploying Byzantine agreement protocols in untrusted environments. The third part of this book studies the privacy issues in fog/edge computing. It first investigates the unique privacy challenges in fog/edge computing, and then discusses a privacy-preserving framework for the edge-based video analysis, a popular machine learning application on fog/edge. This book also covers the security architectural design of fog/edge computing, including a comprehensive overview of vulnerabilities in fog/edge computing within multiple architectural levels, the security and intelligent management, the implementation of network-function-virtualization-enabled multicasting in part four. It explains how to use the blockchain to realize security services. The last part of this book surveys applications of fog/edge computing, including the fog/edge computing in Industrial IoT, edge-based augmented reality, data streaming in fog/edge computing, and the blockchain-based application for edge-IoT. This book is designed for academics, researchers and government officials, working in the field of fog/edge computing and cloud computing. Practitioners, and business organizations (e.g., executives, system designers, and marketing professionals), who conduct teaching, research, decision making, and designing fog/edge technology will also benefit from this book The content of this book will be particularly useful for advanced-level students studying computer science, computer technology, and information systems, but also applies to students in business, education, and economics, who would benefit from the information, models, and case studies therein.

Edge Computing
Author: Javid Taheri
Publisher: IET
ISBN: 1785619403
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The book aims to focus only on the 'edge computing' paradigm - as opposed to other similar disciplines such as fog computing - due to its unique characteristics where heterogeneous devices can be equipped with decision-making processes and automation procedures to carry out applications (mostly) across widely geographically distributed areas. The book is sectioned into three parts (models, technologies and applications) to reflect complementary viewpoints and shed light onto various aspect of edge computing platforms. The first part (models) serves as an introductory section to differentiate edge computing from its fairly close/similar paradigms such as fog computing, multi-access edge computing and mobile cloud computing. It then highlights various theoretical models through which edge computing systems could be mathematically expressed and their relevant technological problems could be systematically solved or optimized. The second part (technologies) focuses on different technologies (virtualization, networking, orchestration, etc.) where edge computing systems could be realized. And finally, the third part (applications) focuses on various application domains (e.g., smart cities) where edge computing systems could, or already did, help in providing novel services beyond the reach of pure/typical cloud computing solutions.
