'''Dew computing''' is an poo poo pee pee farty stinky butt pee pee poo fard [[information technology]] ([[Information technology|IT]]) paradigm that combines the core concept of [[cloud computing]] with the capabilities of end devices ([[personal computer]]s, [[mobile phone]]s, etc.).<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wang|first=Yingwei|date=2015-09-16|title=Cloud-dew architecture|url=http://www.inderscience.com/offer.php?id=71717|journal=International Journal of Cloud Computing (IJCC)|volume=4(3)|pages=199–210|via=}}</ref> It is used to enhance the experience for the end user in comparison to only using [[cloud computing]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|date=2018|editor-last=Hu|editor-first=Yu-Chen|editor2-last=Tiwari|editor2-first=Shailesh|editor3-last=Mishra|editor3-first=Krishn K.|editor4-last=Trivedi|editor4-first=Munesh C.|title=Intelligent Communication and Computational Technologies|volume=19|doi=10.1007/978-981-10-5523-2|issn=2367-3370|series=Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems|isbn=978-981-10-5522-5}}</ref> Dew computing attempts to solve major problems related to cloud computing technology, such as reliance on [[internet access]]. [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]] is an example of the dew computing paradigm, as it provides access to the files and folders in the [[Cloud computing|cloud]] in addition to keeping copies on local devices. This allows the user to access files during times without an internet connection; when a connection is established again, files and folders are synchronized back to the cloud server.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Wang|first=Yingwei|date=2016|title=Definition and Categorization of Dew Computing|url=https://www.ronpub.com/publications/ojcc/OJCC_2016v3i1n02_YingweiWang.html|journal=Open Journal of Cloud Computing|volume=3|issue=1|issn=2199-1987}}</ref>

The term "dew computing," as used in information technology, first appeared in 2015 in IT literature and since then has become a field of its own. The cloud-dew architecture was proposed as a possible solution to the offline data accessibility problem.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/magazine/ztecommunications/2017/5/articles/201711/t20171124_466311.html|title=Dew Computing and Transition of Internet Computing Paradigms - ZTE Corporation|website=wwwen.zte.com.cn|access-date=2018-06-30}}</ref>
