Abstract

In this paper, four computing models, CDEF (Cloudlet, Dew computing, Edge computing, and Fog computing), were portrayed and compared; the concept of post-cloud computing was examined and defined. This paper tries to clarify the connotation and denotation of each post-cloud computing model and to help users to choose the proper one for further exploration.
