Summary

The rapid evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems has led to an unprecedented growth of distributed data generation, requiring intelligent processing capabilities closer to the data sources. Edge Artificial Intelligence (Edge AI) has emerged as a key paradigm to address latency, privacy, and scalability challenges inherent in centralized cloud-based systems.


This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances, challenges, and applications of Edge AI and intelligent systems within IoT environments. It seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working on innovative methodologies, architectures, and real-world deployments that enable efficient, secure, and scalable intelligent processing at the network edge. The scope includes both theoretical contributions and practical implementations across diverse domains such as smart cities, industry 4.0, healthcare, and environmental monitoring.


Suggested themes include (but are not limited to):
· Edge AI architectures and frameworks
· Distributed and federated learning in IoT
· Multi-agent systems for edge intelligence
· Energy-efficient AI for embedded and edge devices
· Security, privacy, and trust in Edge AI
· Real-world applications (smart agriculture, smart cities, Industry 4.0)
· Integration of AI with 5G/6G and edge-cloud continuum


Keywords

edge AI, Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent systems, distributed AI, multi-agent systems, federated learning, smart environments, edge computing, industry 4.0, data-driven systems

    Abstract The increasing adoption of wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wireless sensor networks has accelerated the demand for intelligent, low-latency human activity recognition and localization systems. However, dynamic environments, sensor noise, motion variability, and communication delays continue to hinder reliable real-time sensing. To address these challenges, this study presents an Edge-AI enabled multi-agent intelligence framework for human activity recognition and mobility localization within a 6G-enabled IoT edge-cloud continuum. The proposed framework employs Self-supervised Transformer-based Adaptive Sensor Encoding and learning-aware temporal windowing to generate robust representations from heterogeneous sensing modalities.
