Overview
Edge computing is a key emerging paradigm that enables data processing at or near where it is generated. This close proximity helps lower latency, network bandwidth, and costs, all while improving performance, privacy, and overall user experience. It also contributes to making the planet greener by saving significant amounts of energy necessary for transferring data to cloud-based data centers for processing and then back to clients for consumption. Edge artificial intelligence (AI) builds on this foundation by enabling developers to deploy and run machine learning (ML) models directly on edge devices, including edge gateways and servers, as well as small microcontrollers and constrained IoT devices, allowing inference to be done locally. Given that some estimates predict more than 60% of data will be processed at the edge by 2027, growing to nearly 80% by 2029, understanding this critical technology is essential for next-generation AI/ML applications. To this end, this book will be written for researchers and industry practitioners working in the areas of distributed computing, AI/ML, IoT, and embedded systems to help them understand and utilize edge AI and have some insights into its current challenges and future research directions.

Submission Procedure
Experienced researchers and practitioners with a proven track record of academic publications in relevant areas are invited to submit their chapter proposals for an initial evaluation. A typical chapter proposal should be saved in Word format and include the following*:
- 5-10 keywords.
- An extended abstract (~400 words) that clearly explains the topic and chapter contribution.
- A tentative table of contents (chapter's sections with brief descriptions).
- Authors' short bios, affiliations, emails, and Google Scholar links.
*Abstracts alone and proposals that do not include these details will not be accepted.

Important
- There are NO submission or processing fees.
- Authors of accepted chapters will receive a free copy of the book after publishing.
- All manuscripts must be original and not concurrently under consideration by other books, journals, or conferences. The publisher will run similarity checks on accepted chapters and those with more than 10% plagiarism/self-plagiarism will be rejected.
- Depth, coherence, and good, clear language are key to accepting chapters for this book.
- All manuscripts will be thoroughly reviewed (first by the editor and then by a reviewer). Accepted chapters will later be assessed by the publisher.
- Authors of accepted chapters may be asked to help in reviewing some of the chapters accepted by the editor.
- Proposals, manuscripts, and inquiries should be sent to the editor at ...

Manuscript Format
- Typically, a full chapter should have a minimum of 20 single-spaced pages (excluding references), an abstract (150 words), 5–10 keywords, figures, references, a glossary (key terms and definitions), and a list of abbreviations.
- Authors must proofread and polish their manuscripts before submission.
- Accepted chapters must be formatted in accordance with the publisher's guidelines (will be provided later).
