An Information-Centric Platform for Social- and Location-Aware IoT Applications in Smart Cities
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Recent advances in Smart City infrastructures and the Internet of Things represent a significant opportunity to improve people’s quality of life. Corresponding research often focuses on Cloud-centric network architectures where sensor devices transfer collected data to the Cloud for processing. However, the formidable traffic generated by countless IoT devices and the need for low-latency services raise the need to move away from centralized architectures and bring the computation closer to the data sources. To this end, this paper discusses SPF, a middleware solution that supports IoT application development, deployment, and management. SPF runs IoT services on capable devices located at the network edge and proposes an information-centric programming model that takes advantage of decentralized computation resources located in the proximity of application users and data sources. SPF also adopts Value-of-Information based methods to prioritize the transmission of essential information.

A Partial-differential Approximation for Spatial Stochastic Process Algebra
We study a spatial framework for process algebra with ordinary differential equation (ODE) semantics. We consider an explicit mobility model over a 2D lattice where processes may walk to neighbouring regions independentl...
The M/G/1 queueing model with preemptive random priorities
For the M/G/1 model, we look into a preemptive priority scheme in which the priority level is decided by a lottery. Such a scheme has no effect on the mean waiting time in the non-preemptive case (in comparison with the...
