Pub/Sub (Publish/Subscribe) paradigm is a simple and easy to use model for interconnecting applications in a distributed environment. In general, subscribers register their interests in a topic or a pattern of events and then asynchronously receive events matching their interest, regardless of the events' publisher. In order to build a low latency lightweight pub/sub system for Internet of Things (IoT) services, we propose a GQSFPS (Group Quorum System-based Fog Pub/Sub) system that is a core component in the event-driven service oriented architecture framework for IoT services. The GQSFPS organizes multiple installed pub/sub brokers in the fog servers into a group quorum based P2P (peer-to-peer) topology for the efficient searching and the low latency accessing of events. Therefore, the events of IoT are cached on the basis of group quorum, and the delay-sensitive IoT applications of edge devices can effectively access the cached events from group quorum fog servers in low latency. The performance of the proposed GQSFPS is evaluated through an analytical model, and is compared to the GQPS (grid quorum-based pud/sub system).

Cloud vehicular networks are a promising paradigm to improve vehicular through distributing computation tasks between remote clouds and local vehicular terminals. Software-Defined Network(SDN) can bring advantages to Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) through its ability to provide flexibility and programmability through a logically centralized controlled cluster that has a full comprehension of view of the network. However, as the SDN paradigm is currently studied in vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs), adapting it to work on cloud-based vehicular network requires some changes to address particular computation features such as task computation of applications of cloud-based vehicular networks. There has been initial work on briging SDN concepts to vehicular networks to reduce the latency by using the fog computing technology, but most of these studies do not directly tackle the issue of task computation. This paper proposes a Software-Defined Cloud-based vehicular Network called SDCVN framework. In this framework, we study the effectiveness of task computation of applications of cloud-based vehicular networks with vehicular cloud and roadside edge cloud. Considering the edge cloud service migration due to the vehicle mobility, we present an efficient roadside cloud based controller entity scheme where the tasks are adaptively computed through vehicular cloud mode or roadside computing predictive trajectory decision mode. Simulation results show that our proposal demonstrates a stable and low route setup time in case of installing the forwarding rules of the routing applications because the source node needs to contact the controller once to setup the route.

최근 여러 사물 인터넷 서비스가 사물 장치를 공유하는 다중 서비스 시스템을 구현하기 위해, 다양한 구조의 사물 추상화 프레임워크들이 제시되었다. 분산형 구조는 사물 인터넷 서비스 중복 문제가 있으며, 클라우드 서버 중심 구조는 실시간 인터랙션을 할 수 없다. 또한, 기존의 포그 서버 중심 구조에서는 불완전한 인터페이스가 사용되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존 구조의 문제를 해결한 사물 추상화 프레임워크인 Smart Fog를 제안하였다. Smart Fog는 스마트 게이트웨이와 3개의 IoT 인터페이스들로 구성된다. Smart Fog는 IoTivity와 OIC 표준을 기반으로 구현되었고, 이를 이용하여 실제 임베디드 장치인 Odroid-XU3에서 프로토타입을 구현하였다. 프로토타입 상에서 실험한 결과, Smart Fog가 실시간 인터랙션이 가능할 정도로 네트워크 지연 시간이 짧고, 분산형 구조에 비해 모바일 장치에서 발생하는 네트워크 트래픽이 74%, 전력 소모가 21% 감소함을 확인하였다.

The Internet of Things(IoT) market is expected to grow from 15.5billion to 75.4 billion by 2015-2025. As the number of IoT devices increases, the amount of data that is sent to the cloud is increasing. Today's Cloud Computing models are not suited to handle the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a Cooperation Coordinator System that reduces server load and improved real-time processing capability under specific circumstances by using Band-Cloud. The cooperation coordinator system dynamically forms the cloud when cooperation is needed between mobile devices located near. It is called Band-Cloud. Band-Cloud provides services entrusted by Central Cloud. This paper describes the proposed system and shows the cooperation process using the Android-based mobile devices and Wi-Fi Direct technology. Such a system can be applied to cases where real-time processing is required in a narrow area such as a hospital ward or a school classroom.

Fog radio access network (F-RAN) architectures provide markedly improved performance compared to conventional approaches. In this paper, an efficient genetic algorithm-based content distribution scheme is proposed that improves the throughput and reduces the transmission delay of a F-RAN. First, an F-RAN system model is presented that includes a certain number of randomly distributed fog access points (F-APs) that cache popular content from cloud and other sources. Second, the problem of efficient content distribution in F-RANs is described. Third, the details of the proposed optimal genetic algorithm-based content distribution scheme are presented. Finally, simulation results are presented that show the performance of the proposed algorithm rapidly approaches the optimal throughput. When compared with the performance of existing random and exhaustive algorithms, that of the proposed method is demonstrably superior.

Fog computing aims to provide the solution of bandwidth, network latency and energy consumption problems of cloud computing. Likewise, management of data generated by healthcare IoT devices is one of the significant applications of fog computing. Huge amount of data is being generated by healthcare IoT devices and such types of data is required to be managed efficiently, with low latency, without failure, and with minimum energy consumption and low cost. Failures of task or node can cause more latency, maximum energy consumption and high cost. Thus, a failure free, cost efficient, and energy aware management and scheduling scheme for data generated by healthcare IoT devices not only improves the performance of the system but also saves the precious lives of patients because of due to minimum latency and provision of fault tolerance. Therefore, to address all such challenges with regard to data management and fault tolerance, we have presented a Fault Tolerant Data management (FTDM) scheme for healthcare IoT in fog computing. In FTDM, the data generated by healthcare IoT devices is efficiently organized and managed through well-defined components and steps. A two way fault-tolerant mechanism i.e., task-based fault-tolerance and node-based fault-tolerance, is provided in FTDM through which failure of tasks and nodes are managed. The paper considers energy consumption, execution cost, network usage, latency, and execution time as performance evaluation parameters. The simulation results show significantly improvements which are performed using iFogSim. Further, the simulation results show that the proposed FTDM strategy reduces energy consumption 3.97%, execution cost 5.09%, network usage 25.88%, latency 44.15% and execution time 48.89% as compared with existing Greedy Knapsack Scheduling (GKS) strategy. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that sometimes the patients are required to be treated remotely due to non-availability of facilities or due to some infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Thus, in such circumstances, the proposed strategy is significantly efficient.

다양한 IoT(Internet of Things) 서비스들이 등장하면서 IoT 기기의 테스크를 오프로딩 시키는 연구가 진행되었다. 기존에는 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 통한 오프로딩이 고려되었지만 서비스 응답 지연 및 코어 네트워크의 부하 등의 이슈로 인해 IoT 기기 근처에서 오프로딩을 지원하는 포그 컴퓨팅 개념이 도입되었다. 하지만 포그 컴퓨팅 환경에서도 서비스 대상 IoT 기기가 증가하게 되면 클라우드 환경과 마찬가지로 부하 집중 문제로 인해 서비스 응답 지연이 발생할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 자동차, 드론 등 IoT 기기 근처에 존재하는 컴퓨팅 가능 노드들을 통해 오프로딩을 수행하는 개념인 기회적 포그 컴퓨팅이 등장하였다. 기존의 포그 및 기회적 포그 컴퓨팅 노드들을 활용한 오프로딩 연구들은 서비스의 요청이 있을 때 가용한 노드를 통해 오프로딩을 수행한다. 기존의 연구 방법대로 오프로딩을 수행한다면 기회적 포그 컴퓨팅 노드가 가용할 때에 발생된 요청들만 해당 노드들로 오프로딩이 가능하다. 하지만 서비스의 응답 지연 요구사항만 만족시킨다면 즉시적으로 요청을 처리할 필요가 없고 최대한 많은 테스크를 기회적 포그 컴퓨팅 노드로 오프로딩 시키는 것이 부하 분산에 용이하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 오프로딩 타이머를 기반으로 서비스 응답 지연 요구사항을 만족시키면서 최대한 기회적 포그 컴퓨팅 노드들을 통해 오프로딩 시킬 수 있는 지연된 오프로딩 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

The proposed framework of Four Layer Robust Storage in Cloud (FLRSC) architecture involves host server, local host and edge devices in addition to Virtual Machine Monitoring (VMM). The goal is to protect the privacy of stored data at edge devices. The computational intelligence (CI) part of our algorithm distributes blocks of data to three different layers by partially encoded and forwarded for decoding to the next layer using hash and greed Solomon algorithms. VMM monitoring uses snapshot algorithm to detect intrusion. The proposed system is compared with Tiang Wang method to validate efficiency of data transfer with security. Hence, security is proven against the indexed efficiency. It is an important study to integrate communication between local host software and nearer edge devices through different channels by verifying snapshot using lamport mechanism to ensure integrity and security at software level thereby reducing the latency. It also provides thorough knowledge and understanding about data communication at software level with VMM. The performance evaluation and feasibility study of security in FLRSC against three-layered approach is proven over 2³² blocks of data with 98% accuracy. Practical implications and contributions to the growing knowledge base are highlighted along with directions for further research.
