Resource allocation model for sensor clouds under the sensing as a service paradigm

Guerreiro, JoelRodrigues, LuisCorreia, Noélia2019-05-202019-05-2020192073-431Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/12523The Sensing as a Service is emerging as a new Internet of Things (IoT) business model for sensors and data sharing in the cloud. Under this paradigm, a resource allocation model for the assignment of both sensors and cloud resources to clients/applications is proposed. This model, contrarily to previous approaches, is adequate for emerging IoT Sensing as a Service business models supporting multi-sensing applications and mashups of Things in the cloud. A heuristic algorithm is also proposed having this model as a basis. Results show that the approach is able to incorporate strategies that lead to the allocation of fewer devices, while selecting the most adequate ones for application needs.engInternet of thingsCloudSensing as a serviceWoTMashupResource allocation model for sensor clouds under the sensing as a service paradigmjournal article10.3390/computers8010018
