👉 Vessel computing is a decentralized computing paradigm that leverages the collective processing power of IoT devices, particularly those connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), to perform computations and provide services without relying on centralized cloud servers. Instead, data is processed locally on the edge devices or even directly on the network nodes, reducing latency and bandwidth usage while enhancing privacy and security. This approach enables real-time analytics and decision-making, making it ideal for applications requiring immediate responses, such as smart cities, industrial automation, and autonomous vehicles. By distributing computational tasks across numerous devices, vessel computing not only optimizes resource utilization but also increases the resilience and scalability of IoT systems.
