Ontology-Based Resource Allocation for Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things has revolutionized the lifestyle in all aspects. Considering the huge number of connected objects and the plethora of real-time services, edge computing approaches have emerged. Resource allocation is one of the most important challenges in the Internet of Things. Here edge computing allows the use of resources at the edge network, hence, filling the gap between cloud and end-devices. The network resource allocation should meet users' expectations and provide optimal use of resources. Today, most of the systems are moving toward a self-x concept, such as self-organizing. As a result, these systems must be aware of users' preferences and the current state of the IoT ecosystem in order to adapt themselves to the conditions. In this context, we benefit from the employment of semantic technologies as these enhance the current systems with information modeling and reasoning capabilities which effectively support the allocation of IoT network resources.

smartSDH: An Experimental Study of Mechanism-Based Building Control

“…Recent work in smart building infrastructures incorporate occupant preferences about thermal comfort [8], satisfaction/wellbeing [9], lighting comfort [10], acoustical quality [11], indoor air quality [12], indoor environmental monitoring [13], privacy [14], and productivity [15], while simultaneously optimizing for energy efficiency and agile connectivity with the grid. Alongside these, ontological modeling has emerged as one of the latest avenues pursued in the domain of resource allocation through smart technologies [16], [17].…”

Advances in Production Management Systems: Issues, Trends, and Vision Towards 2030

“…Roda and Macchi [21,22], Roda et al [23], and Polenghi et al [24] focused on risk-oriented, strategic, decision-support systems. Moreover, the data needed to estimate these performance metrics should be transformed and integrated to make available information and/or knowledge relevant for more sustainable products and assets [25,26].…”
