Edge Computing

Abstract

This chapter discusses the emerging paradigm of edge computing and its potential to optimize performance and enhance user experience in modern computing systems. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of edge computing, its definition, and its various applications. It then highlights the key benefits of edge computing. The chapter also delves into the various architectures and models of edge computing. It examines the challenges associated with edge computing, such as resource constraints, security, and privacy issues. The authors then provide an overview of the technologies and tools used in edge computing. They discuss how these technologies can be used to optimize performance and enhance user experience in edge computing systems. The chapter also presents several use cases and real-world applications of edge computing, including smart homes, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare systems. The authors examine the benefits and challenges of using edge computing in these domains and provide insights into how to optimize performance and enhance user experience.
