Acknowledgments

I extend my deepest gratitude to the entire AIEng4D (formerly TinyML4D) Academic Network, comprised of distinguished professors, researchers, and professionals. Notable contributions from Marco Zennaro, Ermanno Petrosemoli, Brian Plancher, José Alberto Ferreira, Jesus Lopez, Diego Mendez, Laila Kazimierski, Jeremy Ellis, Stalin Arciniegas, Kari Janapareddi, Shawn Hymel, Dan Situnayake, Pete Warden, Laurence Moroney, Eric Pan, Evgeni Gousev, Marc Pous, David Tischer, and Pete Bernard have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of Embedded Machine Learning (TinyML) and Edge AI.

We should also mention the strong support from industry, such as Qualcomm (through Arduino and Edge Impulse), Seeed Studio, and EDGEAI Foundation.

Special commendation is reserved for Professor Vijay Janapa Reddi of Harvard University and ETH Zurich. His steadfast belief in the transformative potential of open-source communities, coupled with his invaluable guidance and teachings, has been a beacon and a cornerstone of our efforts from the beginning.

Acknowledging these individuals, we pay tribute to the collective wisdom and dedication that have enriched this field and our work.
