Abstract
Cyber-physical systems and IoT devices are part of today's interconnected networked world and participate in huge data exchange transfer. Owners of related devices and systems tend to use them independently of external systems and in addition, to be autonomous devices and systems that can perform their tasks without any external support. Edge computing refers to devices on the edge of the Internet, as they integrate into a more complex cyber-physical system. The concept of edge computing means that the corresponding cloud and edge servers are always connected to the edge devices and IoT. In the analyzed case, although these devices and systems can work in an integrated environment, they are rather classified into the dew computing concept, giving them an environment for autonomous performance, independent of surrounding devices and systems. This paper elaborates the underlying concept, benefits, market trends and impact of integrating the dew computing concept to the cyber-physical systems and IoT devices.
