Tech Tuesday on Edge Intelligence

Edge computing is a new computing paradigm to address several shortcomings of currently deployed cloud computing services. It brings computing power closer to users where data is produced or need processing. Edge is a prerequisite for many technological advancements and application domains, including autonomous vehicles, Industry 4.0, and smart cities.
