👉 Located computing, also known as edge computing, is a distributed computing paradigm that brings data processing and storage closer to the source of data generation, typically at the "edge" of the network, such as IoT devices, sensors, or local servers. This approach contrasts with traditional cloud computing, where data is processed in centralized data centers. By processing data locally, located computing reduces latency, conserves bandwidth, and enhances real-time decision-making capabilities. It is particularly beneficial for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation, where quick data processing is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
