Decomposition-compensation approach to microcloud-based IoT infrastructure management

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that is designed to improve the quality of consumer's life and also to improve economic indicators and productivity of enterprises, for more efficient use of their resources. In this paper the authors propose an approach to Microcloud-based IoT infrastructure management which provides the required quality of IT services with rational use of IT resources. The proposed approach is based on decomposition-compensation method in which the task of operational service quality management is to maintain a given level of service quality with the use of minimum IT resources amount in IoT environment. Thus the maximum efficiency can be achieved by selecting such control when actual level of service corresponds to the agreed one with the business unit and can be achieved by minimal costs. The proposed approach allows the efficient use of resources for IT services provision in IoT ecosystem through the implementation of service level coordination, resource planning and service level management processes in an integrated IT infrastructure management system. The main goal of this paper is to propose Microcloud-based IoT infrastructure resource management approach using decomposition-compensation method.
