Abstract: Edge computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in information technology, characterized by decentralized data processing at or near the source of data generation. This approach significantly reduces latency, optimizes bandwidth, enhances data security, and enables real-time decision-making. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and latency-sensitive applications, edge computing is increasingly viewed as a critical complement to cloud computing infrastructure. This paper explores the core concepts, applications, benefits, and challenges associated with edge computing and outlines its role in shaping the future of digital systems and smart environments.
