Mobile computing, ubiquitous computing, peer-2-peer network, grid computing
The world-wide-web is distributed.
Area | Characteristics |
---|---|
mobile computing | Mobile computing is human–computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage, which allows for transmission of data, voice and video [2]
|
ubiquitous computing | Ubiquitous computing is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear anytime and everywhere. [3] |
peer-2-peer network | Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
Peers make a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination by servers or stable hosts. Peers are both suppliers and consumers of resource. [4] |
