Urban Limits as Design Constraints: Identifying Suitable Locations for Distributed, Photovoltaic-Powered Servers (opens in new tab)

Urban territories face growing tensions between increasing digital demand, limited resources, and socially constrained built environments. Although distributed computing paradigms such as edge and fog computing are widely presented as solutions for reducing latency and energy dissipation, the scientific literature largely overlooks where such infrastructures can be physically and socially deployed within cities, and typically neglects urban cons...
