Intelligent Edge Computing for Cyber Physical Applications

Cyber physical systems (CPS) integrates computing, modern networks, and physical processes together to offer smart services to end users. Many such existing systems are based on cloud computing architectures. In such situations, edge computing is needed to access data center clouds for every user request to avoid hampering quality of service. Edge-based CPS is more efficient because it reduces remote access to centralized cloud systems by localizing data and services near the end user’s location. Use of AI makes such systems smarter, and understanding intelligent edge-based CPS is important for building and deploying such systems.Intelligent Edge Computing for Cyber Physical Applications introduces state-of-the-art research methodologies, tools and techniques, challenges, and solutions with further research opportunities in the area of edge-based cyber-physical systems. It presents a comprehensive review of recent literature and analysis of different techniques for building edge-based CPS. The book also describes how edge-based CPS can be built to seamlessly interact with physical machines for optimal performance, covering various aspects of edge computing architectures for dynamic resource provisioning, mobile edge computing, energy saving scenarios, and different security issues. The book also features practical use cases of edge-computing which will help readers to understand the workings of edge-based systems in detail, taking into account the need to present intellectual challenges while appealing to a broad readership, including academic researchers, practicing engineers and managers, and graduate students. Introduces and provides reviews on cyber physical and edge computing systems with the different architectures and models needed to address sustainable solutions to different social, environmental, and economic applications Presents the different architectures of edge computing for building cyber physical systems with dynamic resource provisioning and security solutions Provides AI based perspectives to edge-based cyber physical systems with different algorithms and AI based security solutions Covers different case studies and applications in detail with real life examples and possible challenges that can be encountered Offers perspectives for design, development, and commissioning of intelligent edge-based cyber physical systems Offers insights into future research directions in the domain of intelligent edge-based cyber physical systems
