Edge Intelligence is the umbrella term for new types of applications, which are being created due to the advent of Internet of Things and the resulting Edge Computing paradigm. Computing resources are pushed to the edge of the network to overcome the massive amounts of generated data, enable ultra low latency applications and guarantee privacy. Edge Intelligence use cases are based on context-aware AI applications and generate new knowledge from heterogeneous data sources. While the promise of these new applications sounds appealing, the reality is that we are still in the infant stage of building such platforms. We motivate the design of this platform by presenting a motivating use case that spans from Food Computing to Smart Health. Based on this, we identify main tasks encountered in the development of AI applications, describe issues related to Edge Intelligence, and present our vision of an Edge Intelligence as a Service platform.
