👉 Dispatched computing, also known as edge computing or fog computing, is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, typically at the edge of the network, such as IoT devices, gateways, or local servers. This approach reduces latency and bandwidth usage by processing data locally rather than sending it to centralized cloud servers for processing. Dispatched computing enables real-time analytics, faster response times, and improved efficiency in applications like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation. By offloading computation from the cloud to the edge, it enhances privacy, security, and reliability while optimizing network resources and reducing costs associated with data transmission.
