An Architecture of Fog Computing in Smart Cities: the Middleware E2BS in Emergency Calls

Abstract

The use of smart objects in an urban context will be offers services that will help the cities. Thereby, it is possible to implement the Smart Cities concept. Among the services that could be offered is an emergency service calls (e.g., police and firefighters). In an emergency situation, the most appropriate mobile units may be required. Therefore, a middleware can be used to support the activation of the most suitable mobile units. The bigger question is which the vantage of choice the most suitable mobile unit compared to the choice random. In this way this paper presents a new event model and a middleware called Event to Best Subscribers (E2BS) aim to answer this question through two use cases.
