The objective of this book is to bring together a comprehensive collection of research trends on the edge field of IoE from a set of international experts on the theoretical, design, evaluation, implementation and use of innovative technologies on the fields. The benefits results from the integration in a single book of many points of view that usually are not integrated, as these subjects are scattered in many articles (e.g., proceedings, journals and Internet). The book will focus on the applications, probably making it more compelling for a majority of potential users. Once the manual is published, scholars and/or practitioners of fields such as ML, IoT, management, engineering systems, among others can reference it as an information source. It is important to reinforce, that the major contribution of the book, it is the “book as a whole”, since the sum of the chapters creates a book not yet available in the market, expected to interest everyone that works with, or studies, the addressed fields. Nevertheless, each chapter is expected to bring to its respective sub-area the state of the art research, complemented with applications, most of them not yet developed and published, except by the authors.
