A pilot project of the Baltimore Section, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Committee of the Educational Activities Board of the IEEE. It is the first of a series of online courses for group participation, and is part of the IEEE eLearning program, being offered at a deep discount (regular prices are $95/1h course for IEEE members, and $140/1h course for non-members).

This is a 3-hour course, each part lasts about one hour, and is for group online access.

Part 1. Overview of Edge Computing

Instructors: Mahadev Satyanarayanan,  Weisong Shi

This course module will help you to learn why Edge Computing is a new and important development in the computing landscape. The lecture is organized in three parts. The first part defines Edge Computing and lists the different ways in which it can deliver value. The second part presents experimental evidence that low latency, one of the key attributes of Edge Computing, can substantially improve user experience. The third part describes how Edge Computing enables two new classes of applications: wearable cognitive assistance, and scalable real-time video analytics.

Part 2. Application Scenarios of Edge Computing

Instructors: Jie Cao and Dr. Weisong Shi

This course introduces the application scenarios of edge computing. Three real-world applications including smart home, public service, and the autonomous vehicle will be covered in this course along with the discussion of the benefits and challenges by employing Edge computing. This course will be instructional for practitioners in their designing and developing of their Edge computing applications.

Part 3. Designing Security Solutions for Edge, Cloud, and IoT

Instructors:  Kewei Sha and Weisong Shi

This course not only analyzes the new challenges in edge computing, but also presents two novel edge-based security solutions for IoT applications. First, EdgeSec designs a novel security service that is deployed at the Edge layer to enhance the security of IoT systems. Second, the secure and efficient smart data collection framework enables secure data readings from smart grid devices based on a two-phase authentication protocol.
