Summary

The rapid proliferation of smart environments, encompassing domains such as smart cities, healthcare, transportation, and industrial automation, has driven the demand for efficient and real-time data processing. Edge intelligence—the convergence of edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI)—has emerged as a transformative paradigm, enabling localized data analytics and decision making at the network edge. This Special Issue focuses on "Advanced Edge Computing and Artificial Intelligence in Smart Environments", highlighting the latest advancements, challenges, and applications in this dynamic field.


The integration of AI at the edge is reshaping the architecture of smart environments, offering solutions to issues such as latency, bandwidth constraints, energy efficiency, and privacy. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel algorithms and frameworks for edge intelligence, federated and distributed learning approaches, resource allocation and optimization strategies, security- and privacy-enhancing techniques, and application-driven innovations in smart environments.


By presenting cutting-edge research and real-world implementations, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in advanced edge intelligence, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and guiding future developments in creating smarter, more resilient, and efficient environments. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers are invited to contribute their insights and innovations to this critical and rapidly evolving field.

    Abstract Federated Learning (FL) provides an effective framework for efficient processing in vehicular edge computing. However, the dynamic and uncertain communication environment, along with the performance variations of vehicular devices, affect the distribution and uploading processes of model parameters. In FL-assisted Internet of Vehicles (IoV) scenarios, challenges such as data heterogeneity, limited device resources, and unstable communication environments become increasingly prominent. These issues necessitate intelligent vehicle selection schemes to enhance training efficiency. Given this context, we propose a new scenario involving FL-assisted IoV systems under dynamic and uncertain communication conditions, and develop a dynamic interval multi-objective More >
