Over the past 60 years, computing paradigms have undergone significant
developments, evolving from the original Client-Server model to newer ones
such as Cloud Computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and Edge Computing. The
development history of computing paradigms is also the development history
of computing power, which is defined to be the amount of information that
can be transmitted, processed, and stored by a system, as novel computing
technologies have always been driven by the needs of new applications that
demand stronger computing power. Nowadays, emerging applications such as
Web 3.0, Metaverse, and Industrial Internet put forward demands on
next-generation computing technologies that can consolidate the networking
resources to provide the desired quality of services, overcoming the
increasingly serious computing power shortage problem.
Meta Computing was proposed to address the limitations faced by existing
computing paradigms: 1) terminal-end IoT resources are not fully exploited;
2) there exist barriers to the integration of network-wide computing power;
and 3) there is a lack of strong fault tolerance. It aims to utilize all
available computing resources hooked on the Internet, provide efficient,
fault-tolerant, and personalized services with strong security and privacy
guarantee, and virtualize the whole Internet as a giant computer, that is,
``Network-as-a-Computer, NaaC'', or ``Meta Computer'' for short, for any
task or any person at any time on-demand. Meta computing possesses the
following three functional characteristics: supporting zero-trust
environments, integrating all available cloud-edge-terminal computing
resources, and configuring meta computers on-demand. To the emerging
applications such as Web 3.0 and Metaverse , meta computing intends to
turn the Internet into a distributed giant computing power pool to fulfill
the ever-increasing needs on computing power; it also refers to the
integrated technologies that can offer trust-worthy, fault-tolerant, and
easy-to-use computing techniques.
