👉 Recipient computing refers to a model of distributed computing where the processing and decision-making occur at the "edge" or near the source of data generation, rather than in a centralized server. In this paradigm, devices and systems at the network's edge, such as sensors, smartphones, or IoT devices, collect, process, and react to data locally before sending relevant information to a central system or cloud for further analysis. This approach minimizes latency, conserves bandwidth, and enhances privacy and security by reducing the amount of sensitive data transmitted over networks. Recipient computing is particularly useful in scenarios like smart homes, industrial automation, and real-time monitoring systems where timely and efficient data processing is crucial.
