Line 25:

* '''Dew server (DS)''': The DS acts like the cloud service on the local PC. It interacts with and periodically synchronizes contents with the cloud service.<ref name=":7" />

* '''Dew analytics server (DAS)''': DewThe dew analytics server collects data from usage of the dew server.<ref name=":7" />

* '''Artificial intelligence of the dew (AID)''': After receiving data from the DAS about usage patterns, the AID uses the data to customize and tailor the dew server to the user to enhance their experience.<ref name=":7" />

Line 34:

** The local device must possess a duplicated fraction of the [[World Wide Web]] (WWW) or a modified copy of that fraction to satisfy the independence feature. Because this fraction synchronizes with the web, it satisfies the collaboration feature of dew computing.<ref name=":0" />

* Storage in Dew (SiD)

** The [[Storage (memory)|storage]] of the local device is partially or fully copied into the cloud. A good example of this is [[Dropbox (service)|DropBoxDropbox]] in which a user can create a folder in the cloud and have access to the folder and its contents on the local device once the synchronization has completed. Since the user can access the files at any time without the need for constant [[Internet access]], this category meets the independence feature of dew computing. SiD also meets the collaboration feature because the folder and its contents automatically synchronize with the cloud service.<ref name=":0" />

* Database in Dew (DBiD)

** The local device and the cloud both store copies of the same [[database]]. One of these two databases is considered the main version and can be defined as such by the [[database administrator]]. This service increases the reliability of a database since one of the databases can act as the [[backup]] for the other.<ref name=":0" />

Line 44:

** The local device is dynamically supported by cloud services. IaD can come in different forms, but at least the following two forms can be used: (1) the local device can have an exact duplicate DVM instance in the cloud, which is always kept in the same state as the local instance; (2) the local device can have all its settings/data saved in the cloud, including system settings/data and data for each application.<ref name=":0" />

* Data in Dew (DiD)

** When all its applications satisfy the independence and collaboration requirements but cannot be placed in any of the above categories. An example of this would beis the [[GroupWise|Novell Groupwise]] email client.<ref name=":0" />
