JARGON WATCH: fog computing – where data, processing and applications are concentrated in devices at the network edge rather than existing almost entirely in the cloud, per WhatIs: whatis.techtarget/definition/fog-computing-fogging Example of use in The Wall Street Journal: online.wsj/news/articles/SB10001424052702304908304579566662320279406 The term fog computing, according to Ivy Wigmores research (thanks!) was coined over at Cisco, which make sense. They hope that their routers, smartened up a bit, will serve as hubs in an Internet of Things, hosting and enabling that local data, processing and application use. Now that the public has been primed to think about the cloud by a decade of marketing, we can move on to the fog. At this rate, we should probably expect mist computing in April 2015. #IoT
