Front-end intelligence for large-scale application-oriented internet-of-things

Abstract

The Internet-of-things (IoT) refers to the massive integration of electronic devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects to collect and exchange data. It is the enabling technology for a plethora of applications touching various aspects of our lives such as healthcare, wearables, surveillance, home automation, smart manufacturing, and intelligent automotive systems. Existing IoT architectures are highly centralized and heavily rely on a back-end core network for all decision-making processes. This may lead to inefficiencies in terms of latency, network traffic management, computational processing, and power consumption. In this paper, we advocate the empowerment of front-end IoT devices to support the back-end network in fulfilling end-user applications requirements mainly by means of improved connectivity and efficient network management. A novel conceptual framework is presented for a new generation of IoT devices that will enable multiple new features for both the IoT administrators as well as end users. Exploiting the recent emergence of software-defined architecture, these smart IoT devices will allow fast, reliable, and intelligent management of diverse IoT-based applications. After highlighting relevant shortcomings of the existing IoT architectures, we outline some key design perspectives to enable front-end intelligence while shedding light on promising future research directions.

Technologies Trend towards 5G Network for Smart Health-Care Using IoT: A Review

“…The duties of architectures that are things-oriented are immediate supervision, flexible application, responsiveness at the higher level, consumption of low power, higher efficiency, and switching on the intelligent procedure. Systems that are Semantic-oriented should be capable of handling natural language execution methods for improving user experience, growing detectable specimens that are based on the earlier obtained information, and having exceptional computing abilities [ 59 , 60 ].…”

Leveraging Intelligent Transportation Systems and Smart Vehicles Using Crowdsourcing: An Overview

“…Computers "on the edge" of a cloud computing network are far away from the centralized data centers that make up the heart of the system's computing and storage capabilities [33]. While edge computing devices are less powerful than the powerful servers in the datacenter, they exist to offset the main bottleneck now present in cloud computing: data transmission across the network.…”

Privacy of IoT-Enabled Smart Home Systems

“…In last few years, we have observed a growing interest in IoT applications, which are being developed for the industries and ecosystems such as healthcare, smart home, manufacturing and agriculture ecosystems [1]. Presently, it is anticipated that there are about 16 billion IoT units installed worldwide generating vast amount of data.…”
