Abstract

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) enable various Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as driver assistance systems and drone monitoring. However, the computational and energy costs of DNNs significantly limit their adoption in IoT devices, which have limited hardware. One solution is to use an external edge computing infrastructure, located close to the device, to assist with processing tasks. This work plan aims to develop IoT applications supported by an edge computing infrastructure. (AU)
