Edge Computing & Smart Systems

In a time of ubiquitous connection and smart gadgets, edge computing has become a revolutionary paradigm that is changing the way people absorb and use information. The fundamental ideas, architectures, and uses that underpin contemporary edge ecosystems are thoroughly examined in Introduction to Edge Computing and Smart Systems. The book progresses from basic concepts to complex hardware platforms, communication protocols, and designs. It connects theoretical frameworks with useful, real-world applications in a variety of domains, including autonomous systems, smart homes, healthcare, and Industry 4.0. New developments like quantum computing and edge AI are also looked at.The text, which is intended for professionals, researchers, and students, provides a well-balanced combination of technical depth and conceptual clarity. It highlights the significance of security and privacy in decentralised contexts while highlighting crucial performance indicators like scalability and latency optimisation. Understanding edge computing is crucial as organisations go towards intelligent automation.
