5G, the fifth generation of mobile communication networks, is considered as one of the main IoT enablers. Connecting billions of things, 5G/IoT will be dealing with trillions of GBytes of data. Securing such large amounts of data is a very challenging task. Collected data varies from simple temperature measurements to more critical transaction data. Thus, applying uniform security measures is a waste...
Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSNs) have been proposed to monitor underwater regions such as seas and oceans. A typical example of an UWSN consists of a set of underwater sensor nodes and a set of sink nodes that are deployed at the sea surface. Using acoustic transmission, the sensors send their collected data to at least one of the sinks in what is known as the anycast transmission problem...
Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly emerging concept where sensors, actuators and smart devices are often connected to cloud computing systems. Clouds are used in novel scenarios where data produced by large amounts of sensors are processed and often fed back to actuators or smart devices for consumers. Research in IoT Cloud systems addresses questions like how to govern large number of devices...
The degree of assurance of providing reliable connectivity to diversely located devices will define the success of internet of things as aimed for future generation of wireless networks. This poses a challenge of making energy available to such devices, regardless of the environment or the circumstances they are into to keep them connected. Solving such a challenge is expected to provide significant...
The paper outlines directions for further development of global IoT. In particular, it discusses steps supposed to unlock IoT potential to assist consumers in their day-to-day routines. For these purposes requirements for scalable model of interactions between IoT entities formulated and a particular model satisfying these requirements proposed, alternatives for distribution of intelligence across...
Cloud computing has some major limitations that hinder its application to some specific scenarios (e.g., Industrial IoT and remote surgery) where there are particularly stringent requirements, such as extremely low latency. Fog computing is a specialization of the Cloud that promises to overcome the aforementioned limitations by bringing the Cloud closer to end-users. Despite its potential benefits,...
Packet data networks at sea offer the potential for increased safety, connectivity and meteorological data acquisition. Existing solutions including satellite communication are expensive and prohibitive to most small vessels. In this paper, an Internet of Things (IoT) application is proposed as a marine data acquisition and cartography system over Ship Ad-hoc Networks (SANET). Ships are proposed to...
In this paper, we proposed a novel locally semi-stand alone Smart Virtual evolved Base Station (SVeNB), for 5G mobile communication. Where some functions of system Evolved Packet System (EPS) elements can be done with SVeNB. According to the type of function or service and the device, which is used to fulfil that function or service. These elements can be virtualized and programmed in one Virtual...
Edge Computing, as a solution to leveraging computation capabilities at the edge of the network, is emerging. One key challenge for edge computing is offering its computing service with a low service blocking and low latency that otherwise translate to an inefficient deployment of a Edge computing system. Unlike cloud computing, the computing resources in edge computing are limited. One way to deal...
We would like to welcome you to Valencia, to attend The 2nd International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2017) in Valencia, Spain from May 8 to May 11, 2017. FMEC 2017 is becoming one of the most well-known international technical conferences in the areas of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. We are much honored to serve this year as general chairs for this conference. We are also very...
Due to the inherent property of the processing resource request from mobile active or passive devices as part of internet of things (IoT), processing capacity as well as latency become major optimization criteria. To achieve overall optimized uses of cloud resources - having dynamic tracking, monitoring as well as orchestration framework is one of the key challenges to overcome. In the same context,...
This paper explores Adaptive Fibonacci-based Tuning Protocol for Service and Resource discovery in the Internet of Things (AFT). Through using constrained application protocol (CoAP), Internet of Things (IoT) can support Machines to Machines (M2M) communications. CoAP has centralized and distributed operation modes to discover resources. In the centralized mode, resource directory (RD) is used to...
As the number of low cost computing devices at the edge of communication network increase, there are greater opportunities to enable innovative capabilities, especially in cyber-physical systems. For example, micro-grid power systems can make use of computing capabilities at the edge of a Smart Grid to provide more robust and decentralized control. However, the downside to distributing intelligence...
Internet of Things (IoT) connect different types of devices to control different things or simply read data from then, such as room temperature, location, pressure and others, in a variety of application domains using the World Wide Web. This is a challenge for technology and Information Security (IS). Therefore, this paper surveys advances in IoT-based with an eye towards security, where discusses...
Developing applications with intelligent context access capabilities is challenged by the difficulty of obtaining advanced context information. The complexity of the logic required for processing context information adds another barrier for developing advanced context-aware applications. In this research paper, we propose a solution that allows context information sharing and extension toward the...
The development of Fog Computing technology is crucial to address the challenges to come with the mass adoption of Internet Of Things technology, where the generation of data tends to grow at an unprecedented pace. The technology brings computing power to the surrounds of devices, to offer local processing, filtering, storage and analysis of data and control over actuators. Orchestration is a requirement...
5G, fog computing and the majority of the latest technological trends have minimized latency as a top priority. These initiatives are focusing on physical layer methods to decrease latency, thus keeping the changes transparent to users. Physical layer changes are expensive and in many cases incompatible with the original solution which results in lower adoption rate and higher capital investment....
