Edge Computing enables the deployment of computing resources and communication technologies through a unified computing infrastructure along with the transmission channel. By using edge computing, computational requirements are more easily fulfilled. Wherever there is an information gathering necessity or where a user performs a specific activity, it can be performed in real-time. Usually, increased efficiency and decreased operational costs are the two primary advantages connected with edge computing, that are defined below.   Advantages of Edge Computing Some advantages of Edge computing are discussed below- 1. Security While the emergence of IoT edge computing devices increases the networks' total attack vectors, it also offers some major safety benefits. The conventional cloud computing architecture is fundamentally centralized, which makes it extremely vulnerable to exploitation and power failures from decentralized denial of service (DDoS). Edge computing disburses co...

A Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) is an area that needs special protection through action by IMO because of its significance for recognized ecological or socio-economic or scientific reasons and which may be vulnerable to damage by international maritime activities. The criteria for the identification of particularly sensitive sea areas and the criteria for the designation of special areas are not mutually exclusive. In many cases a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area may be identified within a Special Area and vice versa. Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas  Guidelines on designating a "particularly sensitive sea area" (PSSA) are contained in resolution A.982(24) Revised guidelines for the identification and designation of Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs). These guidelines include criteria to allow areas to be designated a PSSA if they fulfil a number of criteria, including: ecological criteria, such as unique or rare ecosystem, diversity of the ecosystem or vulnerab...
