Data Capsule: Representation of Heterogeneous Data in Cloud-Edge Computing

Abstract

Nowadays, robots (including non-humanoid ones, like self-driving cars) are part of the most promising technologies, and they rise various computing requirements. Some of those requirements came from the fact that the robots are involved in highly dynamic environments and have to execute complex decision algorithms in real-time, while other requirements ask for batch processing of big data compatible datasets. In this paper, we propose a cloud architecture for optimizing data processing using a cloud-edge infrastructure. Besides the computational architecture, we develop a mathematical model for each type of entity in our proposal and a formal description of a data capsule, which represents a generic and flexible representation for unstructured units of data in time series databases. The architecture includes multiple processing platforms. We evaluate the proposed model in edge-cloud computing platforms designed for robots that run machine learning tasks.INDEX TERMS Edge computing, data communication, data representation, cloud computing, big data applications, data aggregation.

Architecture and framework for data acquisition in cloud robotics

“…For example, Niemueller et al (2012) proposed a system based on the MongoDB database and the robot operating system (ROS) for fault analysis and performance evaluation applications. In addition, Park et al (2016) proposed a system architecture that could be used to control robot tasks through sensory data acquisition in ROS environments, while Filip et al (2019) proposed an architecture for a cloud-edge infrastructure, along with a model and a formal description of a data capsule.…”

Data Capsule: A Self-Contained Data Model as an Access Policy Enforcement Strategy

“…The term 'data capsule' has been used in different context and for different applications including privacy preserving data models [18][19] [20]. In paper [18] the authors describe a container of subject's data along with its access policy governing how the data is processed.…”

“…In paper [19], the authors proposes a model to encapsulate sensitive personal data along with policies that support fine-grained access control, with support for data transformation before data is shared with service providers to ensure data minimization. While in paper [20], the authors define data capsule as generic representational specification of data for cloud-edge computational architecture for autonomous robots.…”

Techniques For Reducing Energy And Delay For Data Aggregation In Wireless Sensor Networks

“…Latest advancements in network world, self-configured and having less infrastructure network architecture always be on top priority [1]. Wireless sensor networks having these features and consist multifarious sensor nodes which are distributed and particular base stations [2].…”
