Conclusion and Future Work

Introduction Internet of Things

everything analog goes online

toasters, microwaves, cameras
device to device interaction
your alarm starts your coffee maker
your car opens your garage

Introduction - Cloud Computing

Software as a service
Dont need to install
Platform as a service
Build application
Network as a service
Virtual network
Infrastructure as a service
Dont need to buy machines

Issue in Cloud of Things

1. Protocol Support

2. Energy Efficiency

3. Resource Allocation

4. Identity Management

5. IPv6 Deployment

6. Service Discovery

7. QoS Provisioning

8. Location of Data Storage

9. Security and Privacy

10. Unnecessary Communication of Data

Issue in Cloud of Things

1. Protocol Support

Different things, different protocols

Succesfully configured??

Solution : standardized protocol

2. Energy Efficiency

Sensor and connectivity -> a lot power

Batteries are not effective

Solution : solar or air energy? Sleep mode?

Issue in Cloud of Things

3. Resource Allocation

Very difficult to decide how much resource required

Solution : Sending a sample packet from newly added node

4. Identity Management

Need unique identification

Solution : Assigning IPv6

5. IPv6 Deployment

Transition issue

Solution : studies about IPv4-IPv6 coexistence

Issue in Cloud of Things

6. Service Discovery

Discovering new services and status issue

Solution : Uniform way of service discovery

7. Quality of Service Provisioning

Bandwidth, delay, jitter, packet loss ratio

Solution : data prioritization based on urgency

8. Location of Data Storage

Location -> critical and latency of jitter sensitive data

Solution : Allocation of nearest virtual storage

Issue in Cloud of Things

9. Security and Privacy

Sensitive or private data should be stored in a server inside users country

10. Unnecessary Data Communication

Smart gateway to help in better utilization of network and cloud resources

Conclusion and Future Work

In cloud of things, resource allocation is important to utilize power efficiently

Gateway device which connects IoT to Cloud is needed to do extra processing

before sending data to the cloud

The smart gateway must be able to decide the timings and type of application
