This entire article is written as a proposal to a coprporation for a new, very unique computing system. Please offer criticism and suggestions to improve the system, and tell me whether you think it could work. What exactly is the "Edge Computing System" And more importantly, why would I want to go to the trouble of developing it? The Edge Computing System is just that, an entire system, not just a new type of computer or new software suite. The Edge is the means by which you can have your personal computer with you at all times.

Sun Microsystems has had this model for years. They use it internally whereby an employee does not have a perm office of PC. They get to work & insert the smart card which authenicates them & reloads their last saved desktop state.
