Design and Implementation of a Platform for Managing Time-Sensitive IoT Applications

This paper proposes a novel platform, called TIDA, for meeting Time-Sensitive IoT (TS-IoT) application requirements. TIDA accomplishes this by performing resource provisioning, scheduling, execution and monitoring of distributed TS-IoT applications across all available IoT devices, close by computers and cloud virtual machines that constitute the IoT infrastructure. TIDA simplifies TS-IoT application management by providing an easy-to-use interface that allows TS-IoT application developers to administer and automate how, where, when, and for how long to execute each distributed TS-IoT application, so it meets its time frame(s). The paper describes the design and implementation of the TIDA platform, which is based on Microsoft Orleans actor software framework.
