EDGE COMPUTING: EVOLUTION, CHALLENGES, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Edge computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in modern computing, offering new opportunities for processing data closer to the source of generation. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the evolution, challenges, and future directions of edge computing. The paper begins with an overview of the definition and importance of edge computing, highlighting its ability to reduce latency, enhance privacy, and improve efficiency in bandwidth utilization. The evolution of edge computing is then discussed, tracing its historical background and key milestones. The paper also examines the architecture and components of edge computing, including edge devices, infrastructure, and software. Furthermore, the paper explores the applications of edge computing in various domains, such as Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, smart cities, healthcare, and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges in edge computing, such as security and privacy, scalability, network connectivity, and resource management. Finally, the paper presents the future directions of edge computing, including trends, research and development, and potential impact on other technologies. Overall, this review paper provides insights into the state-of-the-art developments in edge computing and its transformative potential in reshaping the future of computing architectures.
