Clouds are used in novel scenarios where data produced by large amounts of sensors are processed and often fed back to actuators or smart devices for consumers. Research in IoT Cloud systems addresses questions like how to govern large number of devices. Simulators could help such analysis, but they are usually problematic to be applied in newly emerging domains. In this paper, show how fundamental properties of IoT entities can be represented in a state-of-the-art simulator by implementing a real world meteorological application. We also analyze operating costs of IoT scenarios by introducing a model of pricing schemes of four providers, then compare them by calculating costs of the simulated application. Finally the revealed pricing model is applied in the simulator to enable cost-based investigations of IoT Cloud systems, and the process is exemplified through the meteorological case study.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124642230","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}

In FMEC, sensors participate in data analytics by collaborating with each other. Sensors are communicating as far as they are paired each other or the radio pipe addresses are matched. Once paired, microcontrollers units (MCUs) are allowed to transmit sensor data to a FMEC computing device. The trustworthiness of incoming sensor data is very significant to sensor data analytics. The sensor data trustworthiness determines the quality of the sensor data analytics and the accuracy of FMEC computing. However, the current techniques do not assure satisfactorily the trustworthiness of the sensors in part because MCUs are unexpectedly joining in and disappearing from FMEC computing. This paper proposes a new data approximation approach to train sensors, and to trigger for reputation and trustworthiness about sensor data. The contribution of this approach includes a sensor data content-driven trustworthiness assurance about participating sensor devices.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123100727","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}

However, existing edge computing solutions operate under the assumption that the edge infrastructure will comprise a set of pre-deployed, custom-configured computing devices, connected by a reliable local network. Although edge computing has great potential to provision the necessary computational resources in highly dynamic and volatile environments, including disaster recovery scenes and wilderness expeditions, extant distributed system architectures in this domain are not resilient against partial failure, caused by network disconnections. In this paper, we present a novel edge computing system architecture that delivers failure-resistant and efficient applications by dynamically adapting to handle failures; if the edge server becomes unreachable, device clusters start executing the assigned tasks by communicating P2P, until the edge server becomes reachable again. Our experimental results with the reference implementation show high responsiveness and resilience in the face of partial failure. These results indicate that the presented solution can integrate the individual capacities of mobile devices into powerful edge clouds, providing efficient and reliable services for end-users in highly dynamic and volatile environments.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"319 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123932318","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}

As sensitive data is being transferred across various administrative domains with differing data protection levels, legislations, and security mechanisms in place, it is important to enable a differentiated approach to implement a flexible access control mechanism tailored to the current context and circumstances. Accordingly, this paper raises awareness on the issues of data privacy in such heterogeneous cloud ecosystems, and presents an on-going research work targeted at devising an access control policy language, which serves to support various types of policies, applicable across a wide range of hybrid cloud scenarios. The presented work is based on and extends the current capabilities of SANTA - a policy language, which, however, currently does not support data privacy concerns associated with clouds, including mobile and hybrid clouds.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131686650","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}

This does not only mean clients requesting data have to contact the Cloud-based service, even if the data is available in the local network, but also that data is sent to external services with unknown or ambiguous privacy policies. The great potential in using closer to the edge fog computing instead of Cloud computing to both enable faster and more privacy-aware processing locally has been recognized in the research community. In particular, on premise smart gateways can provide local low-latency storage and processing capabilities that are controlled locally and can be trusted. In this work, we outline a combined fog Cloud system that automatically selects a suitable execution location for processing tasks. We emphasize on the design challenges of such a system and further demonstrate a solution for the interplay between Fog and Cloud by showing how processing task can be migrated from one system to another on the fly without service interruption.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121295854","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}

Through using constrained application protocol (CoAP), Internet of Things (IoT) can support Machines to Machines (M2M) communications. CoAP has centralized and distributed operation modes to discover resources. In the centralized mode, resource directory (RD) is used to maintain and host updated services description of each resource in the network. RD requires periodical updates by other nodes. However, regularly updates resulted in additional signaling overhead, drain the node's battery and reduce the overall network lifetime. Hence, the proposed AFT intelligently varies and adjusts the update frequency of the services using Fibonacci sequence. We evaluated the performance using an inclusive experiments' number performed by employing emulated Tmote Sky motes in the COOJA environment. The results prove that the proposed AFT protocol consistently accomplished the lowest control overhead that ultimately increased the energy saving of the resources. They also confirm that this AFT protocol outperforms its traditional counterpart by 75% regarding the overall network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":426271,"journal":{"name":"2017 Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131767046","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}
