Abstract: The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) requires an evolution of computing architectures and technologies to handle increased data volumes, real-time processing requirements, and system complexity. This talk will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Fog Computing are converging to power the next generation of IoT systems, enhancing data processing capabilities at the edge while maintaining core analytics and control centrally. Integrating AI into fog computing nodes is critical to transforming traditional IoT devices into intelligent agents that can process and analyze data locally, make real-time decisions, and reduce dependence on cloud services. We will outline the basic principles of fog computing and its essential role in creating a scalable, responsive, and efficient IoT architecture. This architecture enables real-time data processing close to the source, minimizes latency, and optimizes bandwidth usage, which is critical for time-sensitive applications across multiple domains. We will explore several key applications of this integration in areas such as smart cities, industrial IoT, and autonomous vehicles. We will also present the results of our latest studies in our AIoT Lab.
