Edge Computing

Edge computing refers to a decentralized approach to computing where data processing and storage are brought closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. The "edge" in edge computing refers to the network perimeter or the outer boundary of the network.

In traditional cloud computing, data is sent to centralized data centers for processing, analysis, and storage. However, in scenarios where low latency, real-time processing, and reduced network bandwidth are crucial, edge computing comes into play. This is particularly relevant in applications involving the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, remote monitoring, and various other use cases.
  1. Low Latency: By processing data closer to the source, edge computing reduces the time it takes for data to travel to a distant cloud server and back. This is especially important for real-time applications where even a slight delay in processing can be detrimental.

    Bandwidth Efficiency: Transmitting large volumes of data to a central cloud can strain network bandwidth and incur high costs. Edge computing minimizes the amount of data sent over the network by performing initial processing and filtering at the edge devices themselves.

    Privacy and Security: Certain sensitive data might need to be processed locally due to privacy concerns or compliance requirements. Edge computing allows data to be processed locally without being sent to a centralized cloud, enhancing security.

  2. Offline Operation: Edge devices can continue to function and process data even when the network connection is unstable or lost. This is useful in scenarios where constant connectivity cannot be guaranteed.
  1. Scalability: Edge computing can distribute the computational load across a network of edge devices, ensuring scalability without overburdening a single central server.

    Real-time Decision Making: Applications that require immediate decisions or responses can benefit from edge computing as it enables real-time processing of data without relying on the latency associated with cloud-based processing.


  2. Redundancy: Edge computing can provide redundancy and failover capabilities, ensuring that critical processes can continue even if certain nodes or devices fail.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Intelligent visual question answering in TCM education: An innovative application of IoT and multimodal fusion This paper proposes an innovative Traditional Chinese Medicine Ancient Text Education Intelligent Visual Question Answering System ( TCM-VQA IoTNet ), which integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with multimodal learning to achieve a deep understanding and intelligent question answering of both the images and textual content of traditional Chinese medicine ancient texts. The system utilizes the VisualBERT model for multimodal feature extraction, combined with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to process time-series data from IoT sensors, and employs an attention mechanism to optimize feature fusion, dynamically adjusting the question answering strategy. Experimental evaluations on standard datasets such as VQA v2.0, CMRC 2018, and the Chinese Traditional Medicine Dataset demonstrate that TCM-VQA IoTNet achieves accuracy rates of 72.7%, 69.%, and 75.4% respectively, with F1-...
