Edge artificial intelligence for big data: a systematic review

Published: 16 April 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) concepts have become increasingly prevalent in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, relying solely on cloud computing for real-time data processing and analysis is proving to be more challenging. The synergy between edge computing and AI is particularly intriguing due to AI's reliance on rapid data processing, a capability facilitated by edge computing. Edge AI represents a significant paradigm shift, leveraging AI within edge computing frameworks to reduce reliance on internet connections and mitigate data latency issues. This approach accelerates data processing, supporting use cases that demand real-time inference. Additionally, as cloud storage costs continue to rise, the feasibility of streaming and storing large volumes of data comes into question. Edge AI offers a compelling solution by performing big data analytics closer to the end device where edge computing is deployed. This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 85 articles published between 2018 and 2023 within Edge AI. The study provides a comprehensive examination of the analysis of measurement environments and assesses factors applied to Edge AI for big data. It offers taxonomies specific to Edge AI within the big data domain, presents case studies, and outlines the challenges and open issues inherent in Edge AI for big data.
