Cloud & Edge

Edge processing happens near the source of data, while cloud processing uses remote services. Many connected systems use both. The useful question is which work belongs in each location and how the whole system behaves when a dependency fails.

AI can interpret connected-device data, but a prediction is one step in a larger system. The sensor, data transport, model version, permissions and response process all affect the result.

Archive and retrospective. The original publication carried outlooks about 2024, 2025 and the future of IoT. Those pieces reflected the questions and expectations of their publication periods. They should not be treated as current forecasts or proof that predicted adoption occurred.
