Edge Computing: Utilization of the Internet of Things for Time-Sensitive Data Processing

Abstract

An edge computing system is a shared IT (Information Technology) system where customer data can be processed at the edge of the network to as close as possible to the originating source. The Internet of Things connects the various things on the internet, making it easier to live and allow jobs to be done more smartly. It also gives total control to the users. The combination of Edge computing and the Internet of Things can potentially result in huge possibilities for users. This work accessed edge computing and the benefits of using edge computing. It also looked into how to edge the many possibilities that can result in the use of edge computing. Various similar concepts like fog and cloud computing were also considered as closely related terms. This article provides insights into the use of edge computing in several industries.

Accounting Information System and Computerisation: A Conceptualisation

“…The contemporary financial managers face increasing urgency to make prompt accounting decisions, which must incline on real-time financial standing (Sage, 2021a). This arises because the internet of things (IoT) and attendant 4IR has meant that business operations and related commercial activities, such as, quotations, billings, orders, and payments happen with an expedited speed (Ganapathy, 2021). In the same vein, management decisions involving alternative choices such as special order or pricing decisions, make or buy decisions, segment closures or segment expansions require real-time financial standing to expedite decisions within the shortest time to avail from potential financial gain from such special decisions (Trigo et al, 2014).…”
