"Embracing the Fog: Harnessing the Power of Mist Computing," the book explores the concept of mist computing, also known as fog computing, and its significance in modern computing paradigms. It begins by tracing the evolution of computing paradigms, from centralized mainframe systems to distributed cloud computing, highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches in addressing the growing demand for real-time data processing, low-latency applications, and edge computing.The book then delves into mist computing, defining its principles, characteristics, and architectural frameworks. It discusses the importance and relevance of mist computing in addressing the challenges posed by the proliferation of IoT devices, the explosion of data generated at the network edge, and the need for scalable, resilient, and intelligent computing solutions.
