Efficient Device-to-Device Service Invocation Using Arrowhead Orchestration

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables interaction from real-world physical objects using sensors to the virtual world of computers and the Internet. The use of service-oriented architecture (SOA) is one step in the creation of basic and complex interactions between several sensors and actuators. However, the use of SOA-enabled technologies alone does not meet all requirements of how sensor and actuator systems could be integrated to create distributed monitoring and control applications. The centralized, traditional method of communication in wireless sensor networks via a gateway presents drawbacks that have to be addressed; device-to-cloud communication adds higher latency and higher power consumption and is less robust than the device-to-device communication approach. Moreover, all these characteristics reduce the scalability of the network, thus limiting the use of IoT in the industry.In this paper, the proposed method utilizes the Arrowhead framework orchestration system to generate service composition within a (wireless) network formed by IoT devices. The aim is to achieve efficient device-to-device service invocation to reduce the drawbacks of todays widely used device-to-cloud approach. The method in this paper performs efficient service composition for industrial IoT, including mapping SOA service composition in very small resource-constrained devices using the Arrowhead orchestration. The results presented in this paper at the service level can increase performance and robustness in fog computing on resource-constrained devices.

Design and Evaluation of Large-Scale IoT-Enabled Healthcare Architecture

“…For passive devices without a processing unit, RFID is used to ach of communication [30]. The communication process can be accomplished in device-to-device [31,32], device-to-computing center, and computing cen One of the most important goals of the proposed IoT-enabled healthcare is to have a robust communication system in which health devices operate as if they were one device. Therefore, each device in the proposed healthcare system is covered using one of the three coverage tools: satellites, HAPs, and Internet.…”

“…For passive devices without a processing unit, RFID is used to achieve this type of communication [30]. The communication process can be accomplished in three statuses, device-to-device [31,32], device-to-computing center, and computing center-to-computing center. These communication statuses are accomplished over short (Internet or Bluetooth) and long ranges (Internet, HAPs, or satellites).…”
