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 Computing offers 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.

Edge Computing readers will also find:

Edge Computing is ideal for students, professionals, and enthusiasts looking to understand one of technology’s most exciting new paradigms.

Over the past century, vehicles have predominantly functioned as a means of transportation. However, as vehicular computation and communication capacities continue to expand, it is anticipated that upcoming connected vehicle (CVs) will not only serve their conventional transport functions but also act as versatile mobile computing platforms. This book presents the concept of Vehicle Computing, encompassing five primary functionalities of CVs: computation, communication, energy management, sensing, and data storage. It proposes a potential business model and explores the challenges and opportunities associated with these domains.

Vehicle Computing serves as an important resource for the research community and practitioners in the field of edge computing and cyber physical system, capturing the essence of a rapidly changing industry, addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with connected vehicles (including software-defined vehicles, autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles), machine learning, communication, sensing, data storage, energy management, and computer systems. It synthesizes the latest research and real-world applications, offering valuable insights to both academia and industry professionals.
