Introduction

Dew Computing (DC) as a new post-cloud computing model that enabling ubiquitous, pervasive, and convenient ready-to-go, plug-in facility empowered personal network that includes Single-Super-Hybrid-Peer P2P communication link. Dew Computing depends on a Dew–Fog–Cloud vertical scalable service hierarchy. Dew Computing performs several critical functions, such as device connectivity, protocol translation, data filtering and processing, security, updating, management, and more. Newer Dew Computing also operates as a platform for application codes that process data and become an intelligent part of an edge-device-enabled system. Dew Computing paradigm is envisaged to enhance current pervasive implementations in more flexible and distributed fashion. The area of such implementations is unlimited, that includes home automation, smart gardening, green computation, smart health care, traffic signal monitoring, context-aware communication, smart wearable computing, and industrial gas leakage monitoring. Out of all, IoT could play a major application role along with DC.

IoT is an application perspective model where heterogeneous devices act together to perform a set of tasks. Most of the time, aggregated data and inherent information are stored and extracted (respectively) in the allied cloud services. The Dew Computing allows functions to be executed on nearby devices found closer to the user, and the thing less approach goes even further, providing scalability on a low-level infrastructure that consists of multiple things, such as IoT devices. These approaches introduce the distribution of computing to other smart devices or things on a lower architectural level. Such an approach enhances the existing dew computing architectural model as a sophisticated platform for future generation IoT systems.
