Complex Event Processing (CEP) on sensor-based systems often uses a mobile gateway agent to forward raw sensor data streams to a remote back-end server. Complex events that are triggered by multiple raw events are then detected at the back-end server. This approach relies on a persistent network connection between the back-end server and the mobile device. This thesis proposes an edge computing-based mobile CEP technique in which CEP is performed on the mobile edge device using an embedded CEP engine and the detected complex events are sent to the back-end server for further processing. A proof-of-concept prototype for this system has been built using a Siddhi CEP engine and a WSO 2 server. A thorough performance analysis is performed for comparing the proposed system with the back-end server-based system. The proposed system can handle intermittent network disconnections and leads to reduced user cost and energy consumption for the mobile device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
