Edge computing is a distributed computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. More broadly, it refers to any design that pushes computation physically closer to a user, so as to reduce the latency compared to when an application runs on a centralized data centre .
Multi-access edge computing (MEC), formerly mobile edge computing, is an ETSI-defined [1] network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network [2] [3] and, more in general at the edge of any network. The basic idea behind MEC is that by running applications and ...
Explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC) is a term coined in 1997 by the HP–Intel alliance [1] to describe a computing paradigm that researchers had been investigating since the early 1980s. [2] This paradigm is also called Independence architectures.
The OpenFog Consortium was an association of major tech companies aimed at standardizing and promoting fog computing.. Fog computing [1] [2] or fog networking, also known as fogging, [3] [4] is an architecture that uses edge devices to carry out a substantial amount of computation (edge computing), storage, and communication locally and routed over the Internet backbone.
In computer networking, an edge device is a device that provides an entry point into enterprise or service provider core networks. [1] Examples include routers , [ 2 ] routing switches , integrated access devices (IADs), multiplexers, and a variety of metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) access devices.
Identity management (ID management) – or identity and access management (IAM) – is the organizational and technical processes for first registering and authorizing access rights in the configuration phase, and then in the operation phase for identifying, authenticating and controlling individuals or groups of people to have access to applications, systems or networks based on previously ...
An edge case is a problem or situation that occurs only at an extreme (maximum or minimum) operating parameter. For example, a stereo speaker might noticeably distort audio when played at maximum volume, even in the absence of any other extreme setting or condition. An edge case can be expected or unexpected.
End-user computing (EUC) refers to systems in which non-programmers can create working applications. [1] EUC is a group of approaches to computing that aim to better integrate end users into the computing environment. These approaches attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform problem-solving in a trustworthy manner. [2] [3]
