Edge Computing Architecture for the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage Herrera Santos, Jorge Plaza Hernández, Marta López Flórez, Sebastián Djapic, Vladimir Prieto Tejedor, Javier Corchado Rodríguez, Emilio Santiago Underwater cultural heritage Edge computing Internet of underwater things Underwater location Generative AI [EN]Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) is a valuable resource that preserves humanity’s historical legacy, offering insights into traditions and civilisations. Despite its significance, UCH faces threats from inadequate regulatory frameworks, insufficient conservation technologies, and climate-induced environmental changes. This paper proposes an innovative platform combining the internet of underwater things and edge computing technologies to enhance UCH’s real-time monitoring, localisation, and management. The platform processes data through a central unit installed on a buoy near heritage sites, enabling efficient data analysis and decision making without relying on cloud connectivity. Integrating acoustic communication systems, LoRa technology, and nonterrestrial networks supports a robust multilayered communication infrastructure for continuous operation, even in remote maritime areas. The platform’s edge node deploys artificial intelligence models for real-time risk assessment, focusing on key environmental parameters to predict and mitigate corrosion rates and climate-related threats. A case study illustrates the system’s capabilities in underwater localisation, demonstrating how edge computing and acoustic triangulation techniques enable precise tracking. 2025-06-20T09:07:00Z 2025-06-20T09:07:00Z 2025-06-20T09:07:00Z 2024-12-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Herrera-Santos, J.; Plaza-Hernández, M.; López-Florez, S.; Djapic, V.; Prieto Tejedor, J.; Corchado-Rodríguez, E.S.
