IFCIoT: Integrated Fog Cloud IoT: A novel architectural paradigm for the future Internet of Things 论文

摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical things, objects, or devices, such as radio-frequency identification tags, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, and laptops. The IoT enables objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, including the Internet, thereby creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into the cyber world. The IoT becomes an instance of cyberphysical systems (CPSs) with the incorporation of sensors and actuators in IoT devices. Objects in the IoT have the potential to be grouped into geographical or logical clusters. Various IoT clusters generate huge amounts of data from diverse locations, which creates the need to process these data more efficiently. Efficient processing of these data can involve a combination of different computation models, such as in situ processing and offloading to surrogate devices and cloud-data centers.
