Doing More with the Dew: A New Approach to Cloud-Dew Architecture

While the popularity of cloud computing is exploding, a new network computing paradigm is just beginning. In this paper, we examine this exciting area of research known as dew computing and propose a new design of clouddew architecture. Instead of hosting only one dew server on a user’s PC — as adopted in the current dewsite application — our design promotes the hosting of multiple dew servers instead, one for each installed domain. Our design intends to improve upon existing cloud-dew architecture by providing significantly increased freedom in dewsite development, while also automating the chore of managing dewsite content based on the user’s interests and browsing habits. Other noteworthy benefits, all at no added cost to dewsite users, are briefly explored as well. TYPE OF PAPER AND
