👉 Ronald computing, also known as Ronald Computing or Ronald's approach to distributed systems, is a conceptual framework introduced by Ronald Levine in the 1980s. It emphasizes the importance of decentralized, autonomous, and self-organizing systems, where individual nodes or agents operate independently yet collaboratively to achieve a common goal. This model contrasts with traditional centralized computing by focusing on the inherent properties of distributed networks, such as fault tolerance, scalability, and resilience. Ronald Computing advocates for designing systems that can adapt to dynamic environments, handle failures gracefully, and maintain functionality even when parts of the network fail. It's particularly relevant in modern distributed systems, cloud computing, and IoT, where decentralization offers significant advantages over centralized architectures.
