Guest Editorial Special Issue on Cloud–Edge–Terminal Collaboration-Enabled AIoT: Services, Technologies, and Applications

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) represents a collaborative fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). AIoT systems enable real-time data acquisition through IoT sensors and conduct intelligent data analysis tasks across the entire spectrum from terminal to edge to cloud, creating a dynamic and empowering ecosystem. However, the evolving landscape of AIoT faces a perplexing challenge: how to effectively sense the geographically diverse and highly variable environment, accurately gather massive and diverse IoT data with varying value density, and intelligently integrate multisource data to deliver real-time, intelligent, and high-quality applications.
