This book presents the technologies that empower edge intelligence along with their use in novel Io T solutions. Specifically it presents how 5G/6G Edge AI and Blockchain solutions enable novel Io T-based decentralized intelligence use cases at the edge of the cloud/edge/Io T continuum. Emphasis is placed on presenting how these technologies support a wide array of functional and non-functional requirements spanning latency performance cybersecurity data protection real-time performance energy efficiency and more. The various chapters of the book are contributed by several EU-funded projects which have recently developed novel Io T platforms that enable the development and deployment of edge intelligence applications based on the cloud/edge paradigm. Each one of the projects employs its own approach and uses a different mix of networking middleware and Io T technologies. Therefore each of the chapters of the book contributes a unique perspective on the capabilities of enabling technologies and their integration in practical real-life applications in different sectors. The book is structured in five distinct parts. Each one of the first four parts focuses on a specific set of enabling technologies for edge intelligence and smart Io T applications in the cloud/edge/Io T continuum. Furthermore the fifth part provides information about complementary aspects of next-generation Io T technology including information about business models and Io T skills. Specifically: The first part focuses on 5G/6G networking technologies and their roles in implementing edge intelligence applications. The second part presents Io T applications that employ machine learning and other forms of Artificial Intelligence at the edge of the network. The third part illustrates decentralized Io T applications based on distributed ledger technologies. The fourth part is devoted to the presentation of novel Io T applications and use cases spanning the cloud/edge/Io T continuum. The fifth part discusses complementary aspects of Io T technologies including business models and digital skills.
