👉 Impressed computing, also known as edge or distributed computing, refers to a networked architecture where data processing and computation occur closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach leverages a distributed network of devices, such as smartphones, IoT sensors, and local edge servers, to perform real-time data analysis and decision-making. By processing data locally or at the edge of the network, impressed computing reduces latency, conserves bandwidth, and enhances privacy and security, as sensitive data doesn't need to be transmitted to distant cloud servers. This paradigm is crucial for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation.
