| Abstract |
Dew computing is an emerging paradigm that extends the edge computing concept by leveraging the resources available in the surrounding environment. This chapter presents a state-of-the-art review of dew computing, including its definition, characteristics, and architecture. The authors also discuss the opportunities and challenges of dew computing and provide a comprehensive survey of recent research efforts in this area. Specifically, they highlight the potential of dew computing to address the challenges of resource-constrained devices, increase data privacy and security, and improve network efficiency. However, several research challenges need to be addressed, including resource management, security, privacy, and interoperability. They discuss the future research directions and potential applications of dew computing in various domains, such as healthcare, smart cities, and the internet of things (IoT). In summary, dew computing has the potential to revolutionize the way we perceive and utilize computing resources and opens up a new research frontier for computer science and engineering. © 2024, IGI Global.
