Current solutions for sensor-cloud integration do not offer tools or platforms providing both efficient data management and standardized interfaces for the development of WSN-based applications on a shared infrastructure. This paper proposes a new architecture based on the paradigm of Service-Oriented Computing and virtualization of sensors for efficient management of heterogeneous WSNs data. The...
In this paper, a method of interaction with Wireless Sensors Networks (WSN) through cloud, called Wireless Sensor Network over Cloud (WSN-C), is proposed. The physical sensors are not considered stand-alone sensors but they can be monitored, controlled and updated (programmed) via cloud services. The Cloud can communicate with the sensors through the WSN access point, or Sensor Gateway. Thus, every...
When pieces of information originate from the physical world through the sensing infrastructure, there is a pressing need to cope with the overhead and inherent limitations lying in merely shifting huge amounts of aggregated data across the net. In this scenario, a key point is the minimization of wasted bandwidth to accommodate for ever-growing demands of sensing data. For effective treatment of...
Industrial Internet of things (IIoTs) relies on different devices working together, gathering and sharing data using multiple communication protocols. This heterogeneity becomes a hindrance in the development of architectures that can support applications operating independently of the underlying protocols. Therefore in this paper, we proposed a modular and scalable architecture based on lightweight...
Self-awareness has been used in many research fields in order to add autonomy to computing systems. In automotive systems, we face several system layers that must be enriched with self-awareness to build truly autonomous vehicles. This includes functional aspects like autonomous driving itself, its integration on the hardware/software platform, and among others dependability, real-time, and security...
This paper proposes an architecture aiming at promoting the convergence of the physical and digital worlds, through CPS and IoT technologies, to accommodate more customized and higher quality products. The architecture combines concepts such as cyber-physical systems, decentralization, modularity and scalability aiming at responsive production. Combining these aspects with virtualization, contextualization,...
The explosive growth of cellular network users and traffic stimulates the current network architecture to be more spectral-, energy-, and operation efficient and flexible. In this paper, we propose a transformium network architecture comprising transformium core, body and cloud, where the core dynamically schedules the body and cloud orchestrated with wireless network environment. To enable the transforming...
This paper proposes a layered architecture which is well-fitted to provide methodically an environment of configuring collaborative services. The paper also discusses applying the architecture and methodology to design a system of home virtualization and functional collaboration, which is for facilitating emotionally connected presence and emergency services among isolated family members. Finally,...
The provisioning of powerful decentralized services in the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the integration of innovative IoT platforms, requires ubiquity, reliability, high-performance, efficiency, and scalability. Towards the accomplishment of the above requirements, the contemporary technological trends leaded to the IoT and Cloud convergence. This combination created the approach of federated...
We introduce the concepts of cross-layer virtual/physical sensing and actuation to achieve resiliency for the emerging class of heterogeneous many-core Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Using the CyberPhysical System-on-Chip (CPSoC) concept as an exemplar sensor-rich many-core heterogeneous computing platform, we illustrate how to intrinsically couple on-chip and cross-layer physical and virtual sensing and...
Virtualization enables the sharing of a same wireless sensor network (WSN) by multiple applications. However, in heterogeneous environments, virtualized wireless sensor networks (VWSN) raise new challenges such as the need for on-the-fly, dynamic, elastic, and scalable provisioning of gateways. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging paradigm that can certainly aid in tackling these...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has gained more importance in current era and given contribution on broad range of commercial applications. These networks consists of small, battery powered sensors communicating with each other to monitor the environment forming a network with ease of deployment where wired infrastructure is too expensive and difficult to deploy. In applications like home automation,...
We propose Cloud of Things for Sensing as a Service: a global architecture that scales up cloud computing by exploiting the global sensing resources of the highly dynamic and growing Internet of Things (IoT) to enable remote sensing. The proposed architecture scales out by augmenting the role of edge computing platforms as cloud agents that discover and virtualize sensing resources of IoT devices...
The lack of support and the shortcomings of Cloud computing in relation to pervasive applications can be addressed through the Sensing and Actuation as a Service (SAaaS) paradigm. In SAaaS, sensors and actuators, from both mobile devices and sensor networks, can be discovered, aggregated and elastically provided as a service according to the Cloud provisioning model. Nevertheless, managing a large...
This paper presents an innovative architecture for the instrumentation layer of a pervasive large-scale information system. State of the art examples already include an instrumentation layer in a grid infrastructure; nontheless these systems were not designed for large-scale ad-hoc networks, rapidly deployed, continuously upgraded, and dynamically reconfigured when the system is on-line. The main...
In this paper, we present a cloud based virtual Smart Grid (vSG) architecture and its concept design. This novel architecture extends the pervasive virtualization principle to the wide area smart grid sensory, communication, and control systems, and essentially embeds the Smart Grid (SG) into a cloud environment. We particularly design a systematic virtualization mechanism for SG system in three levels:...
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have been used widely to detect malicious behaviors in network communication and hosts. IDS management is an important capability for distributed IDS solutions, which makes it possible to integrate and handle different types of sensors or collect and synthesize alerts generated from multiple hosts located in the distributed environment. Facing new application scenarios...
