By adopting and leveraging the modern paradigm of Serverless Computing, developers do not need to manage the servers. In this computational model, the executables are independent functions that are individually deployed on a Serverless platform offering instant per-request elasticity. Such elasticity typically comes at the cost of the “Cold Starts” problem. This phenomenon is associated with a delay occurring due to provision a runtime container to execute the functions. Shortly after Amazon introduced this computing model with the AWS Lambda platform in 2014, several open source and commercial platforms also started embracing and offering this technology. Each platform has its own solution to deal with Cold Starts. The evaluation of the performance of each platform under the load and factors influencing the cold start problem has received much attention over the past few years. This paper provides a comprehensive overview on the recent advancements and state-of-the-art works in mitigating the cold start delay. Moreover, several sets of experiments have been performed to study the behavior of the AWS Lambda as the base platform with respect to the cold start delay.","PeriodicalId":350108,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114885370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, farmers are skeptical of running smart farms, due to their expensiveness, inefficient energy consumption, difficult management, and potential data leakage. Many studies suggest using LoRa (Long Range), a type of LPWAN (long power wide area network) technology, which is capable of long-range with economical price and small battery consumption. However, studies overlook on how to transmit data proficiently, safely and assuredly. Therefore, this study proposes L & M Farm, a LoRa and MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) based smart farm. MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol that guarantees the reliability and security of data while minimizing the wastage of packet space. The prototype uses two Arduino Boards with Dragino LoRa Hat, in which one is connected to the VH400 soil moisture sensor and DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, the other connected to a solenoid valve irrigation actuator. Also, there is a Raspberry Pi irrigation node, which uses Open Weather API to get 5 days of weather data. In addition, a web-based application for farmers to conveniently manage the smart farm.","PeriodicalId":350108,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128743083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensors, gateways, servers, databases, web-based applications, are all widely used by connected smart farms. Also, the range of communication availability, the amount of power required for communication, and required equipment are differs depending on the networking technology. Hence, the decision of networking technology is very important when implementing a smart farm. While there are many networking technologies, LoRa (Long Range) is one of the most common Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) in use by smart farms in the United States. Theoretically, APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) can communicate at greater distances than LoRa. Therefore, the study compares the feasibility of LoRa and APRS in smart farms by measuring the distance coverage of the two networking technologies. All three tests were conducted at the Purdue Agronomy Center for Research and Education where the transmitting antennas were mobile that moved via cars, and the receiving antennas were installed at the same tower. The distances were calculated by using Google Maps, where all the locations for the transmitting points were saved. From evaluating the test results, this paper concludes that LoRa is a more feasible wireless connection than APRS in the smart farm IoT system.","PeriodicalId":350108,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124788165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LPWAN technologies, such as Sigfox, are offering localization services accurate enough for most applications. Specifically, the Sigfox Monarch feature has been developed to assure that local regulations are safely applied when an asset travels from a region to another.

To overcome resources shortage, it is possible to lease assets from other domains across a federation of cloud-fog infrastructures to meet the requirements of those applications: the fog provider seeks to minimise the number of external resources to be rented in order to successfully deploy the applications’ demands exceeding own infrastructure capacity. To this aim, we introduce a general framework for the deployment of applications across multiple domains of cloud-fog providers while guaranteeing resources locality constraints. The resource allocation problem is presented in the form of an integer linear program, and we provide a heuristic method that explores the resource assignment space in a breadth-first fashion. Extensive numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach in terms of deployment cost and feasibility with respect to standard approaches adopted in the literature.","PeriodicalId":350108,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115114293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of a ubiquitous connected source environment is to be complicated and global to improve service performance delivery, cost-effectiveness, and using all capabilities of technology resources.

The ICT architecture in the smart city must provide the facility to organize all technology resources, the produced data, network communication orchestration, and services in the large scale of smart cities. In today’s smart cities, three main different ICT architecture proposals are available, Centralized, Decentralized-to-Centralized, and Distributed-to-Centralized. Centralized ICT architectures are designed based on Cloud technologies. The Decentralized-to-Centralized and Distributed-to-Centralized ICT architectures are using the multiple facilities from the joined benefits of edge to Cloud technologies orchestration. In this paper, we first describe these three ICT architectures in smart cities. Besides, we present our proposed Decentralized-to-Centralized and Distributed-to-Centralized ICT architectures in smart cities.
