	... The use and exploitation of computing devices whose availability is ephemeral in order to carry
out complex computational tasks.
  
Computers + smartphones + cloud + embedded oh my!
Asynchronous, heterogeneous, fleeting
  Flexible
    Resilient
    Self-Adaptive
    Decentralized
  Issues:
    Algorithms
    Big data 
    Energy consumption
  
EphC secret origins:
    Ubiquitous computing
    Tries to hide ephemeral substrate
        On the other hand, in ubiquitous computing the
main goal is to leverage computation everywhere and
anywhere, so that computation can occur using any
kind of device, in any location, starting and ending at
any time and using any format and during any amount
of time. The main efforts in this area have been ori-
ented to design and develop the underlying technolo-
gies needed to support ubiquitous computing (Lyyti-
nen and Yoo, 2002) (like advanced middleware, op-
erating systems, mobile code, sensors, microproces-
sors, new I/O and user interfaces, networks or mo-
bile protocols). However, and in the same way it hap-
pens with cloud computing, the main target in ubiqui-
tous computing is to allow stable and persistent com-
putation processes perform a complete execution of
the programs. When this area handles the concept of
ephemeral devices, services or computation, the main
solution is to stop the process, or processes, and re-
sume once new devices are ready (Wang et al., 2004).
Previous hypothesis and assumptions can be extrapo-
lated to distributed computing, where the concept of
ephemeral services can be a problem that could even-
tually generate a failure in the execution of the process
      (Sharmin et al., 2005).More secret origins:
    Volunteer computing
  Bioinspired algorithm should
    be inclusive, 
    asynchronous, 
    resilient, 
    show emergency, 
    and self-adapt
