Understand the computing technology that will power a connected future
The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years has revolutionized virtually every area of technology. It has also driven a drastically increased demand for computing power, as traditional cloud computing proved insufficient in terms of bandwidth, latency, and privacy. Edge computing, in which data is processed at the edge of the network, closer to where it's generated, has emerged as an alternative which meets the new data needs of an increasingly connected world.
Edge Computingoffers a thorough but accessible overview of this cutting-edge technology. Beginning with the fundamentals of edge computing, including its history, key characteristics, and use cases, it describes the architecture and infrastructure of edge computing and the hardware that enables it. The book also explores edge intelligence, where artificial intelligence is integrated into edge computing to enable smaller, faster, and more autonomous decision-making. The result is an essential tool for any researcher looking to understand this increasingly ubiquitous method for processing data.
