The book delves into a comprehensive exploration of various EdgeAI concepts, encompassing its architecture, key performance indicators, and enabling technologies. It begins by introducing algorithmic government, large-scale decision-making, and computing challenges in the cloud and fog. As technology continues to advance, artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated our personal lives, as well as the realms of economy, socio-culture, and politics. The integration of AI into decision-making for public services is revolutionizing the way governments operate globally.

This book serves as a valuable resource in understanding how algorithms can assist the government in diverse ways. It discusses the role of virtual assistants for busy civil servants, the automation of public services, and the implementation of algorithmic decision-making processes. In such scenarios, the widespread adoption of algorithms is likely to impact the lives of entire communities.

The cloud-centric architecture of artificial intelligence presents unique challenges, including latency, overhead communication, and significant privacy risks. Given the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices, the need for efficient data analysis at the network's edge becomes paramount. This necessitates the integration of edge computing into algorithmic government.

EdgeAI, the intersection of edge computing and AI, forms the central focus of this book. It also delves into how these concepts can be incorporated into algorithmic government through a conceptual framework and decision points. Furthermore, the research work highlights some design challenges in edge computing from an applications viewpoint.

This book is designed to be a valuable resource for a wide range of professionals, including data engineers, data scientists, cloud engineers, data management experts, public policymakers, administrators, research scholars, and academicians. Its comprehensive coverage of EdgeAI concepts and their practical applications will empower readers to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.
