Intelligence (AI) became 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. </span></p>

style="font-family:Times;color:black" lang="EN-US">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></p>
