Edge Intelligence and Protocols for IoT Applications

Abstract: IoT-enabled applications increase tremendously in various sectors, such as transportation, healthcare, education, agriculture, and so forth. These applications sense properties using sensors, perform intelligence, and apply the findings using actuators. Instead of submitting sensor data directly to the cloud, intelligence could be performed with the inclusion of several edge/fog nodes. This improves the privacy and computation time of applications. This talk will provide insights on edge intelligence techniques for such IoT-enabled applications. In addition, a few protocols that are involved in such applications are discussed.
