Chapter 11. Composability: Real-Time, Grids, and the Rise of an NDC Meta-Architecture
Even as new frameworks emerge, NDC is beginning to embrace computing at the edge of the network: increasingly smaller devices, wireless datacom capabilities, and real-time EmNets represent a fundamental shift in networking. The closer to the edge we get, the greater the extent to which real-time network sensibilities will have an impact on NDC frameworks and programming.
Real-time computing is orthogonal to NDC; at least, that's been the traditional view. With latency issues, speed of light constraints, and indeterminacy, as noted by Deutsch's fallacies, the needs of real-time computing, especially hard real-time, cannot be met in such an environment. And yet ...
