Keynote Talk: Computation Distribution in a Cloud-Edge Architecture for IoT Applications
Associate Professor Javier Berrocal, University of Extremadura, Spain.
Abstract:
The introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) devices as commonplace and the increase in their computing and storage capabilities has raised the interest on their usage in diferent domains. Some of them, like Industry or Health, have very stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for their applications. During the last few years, paradigms such as Fog, Edge or Mist computing have been proposed in order to improve and achieve the QoS of these applications. In this talk, we delve into the need for multilayered architectures (Cloud-Fog-Edge-Mist), where some of the layers can be optional depending on the specific QoS requirements, the behaviour and the context of each IoT application. In these environments, diferent techniques and methodologies are necessary in order to distribute the computation in several layers depending on the application and its context. In addition, in current IoT applications, such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) not only the QoS but also the socio-technical integration is crucial. Therefore, we will also focus on how the integration of Humans in these applications can be achieved.
