a popular wide area for the latest- generation of software-oriented solutions.
Lately, AI has been considered as a hot topic due to its huge applications and
it attracted attention from academia as well as industrial and end users while
receiving positive media coverage. AI is advancing at considerable speed and
lead to many widely beneficial applications, variant from Machine Translation
to Medical Image Computing. From R&D perspectives, AI acquires incredible
amounts of progress in terms funding investors devoted on AI applications. According
to AI efforts, Edge Computing (EC) has become an essential solution to overcome
the strangulation of emerging technology development according to its benefits
of minimizing data transmission, reducing service latency and easing cloud
computing pressure. Also, the scope of EC is very diverse on large application
area, such as smart grid and smart city, logistics and transportation,
manufacturing and healthcare. Furthermore, the EC provide significant gains
which include low-latency thus allowing close cooperation in sophisticated
mobile applications and on the core network to reduce traffic volume as data
streaming along the way to the distant data center is no longer necessary. The
evolution of new technologies of communication such as 5G made communication so
much easier where the latency is lower and memory bandwidth is higher, the
border between edge infrastructure and mobile devices will be even imprecise
and EC will become more attractive.<span></span></span></p>
