报告摘要：

  Edge-cloud computing has become the mainstream architecture for the design of smart IoT systems such as smart health, smart grid, and smart manufacturing. However, there are still many open challenges such as data and computational resource management, task scheduling, edge intelligence, security and privacy. In this talk, I will use a smart UAV delivery system (named UAV-EXPRESS) as a typical example to introduce our recent studies on engineering edge-cloud smart IoT systems using AI and workflow technologies. I will introduce the simulation tool, the edge workflow system, the security and privacy framework, and the device-edge-cloud collaborative learning models which are the key components for engineering smart and secure IoT systems. I will also briefly touch on our latest progress in agentic workflow system which combines agentic and workflow technology to support the development of service-oriented AI applications.
