The design of mobility-aware framework for edge/fog computing for IoT systems with back-end cloud is gaining research interest. In this paper, a mobility-driven cloud-fog-edge collaborative real-time framework, Mobi-IoST, has been proposed, which has IoT, Edge, Fog and Cloud layers and exploits the mobility dynamics of the moving agent. The IoT and edge devices are considered to be the moving agents in a 2-D space, typically over the road-network. The framework analyses the spatio-temporal mobility data (GPS logs) along with the other contextual information and deploys machine learning algorithm to predict the location of the moving agents (IoT and Edge devices) in real-time. The accumulated spatio-temporal traces from the moving agents are modelled using probabilistic graphical model. The major features of the proposed framework are: (i) hierarchical processing of the information using IoT-Edge-Fog-Cloud architecture to provide better QoS in real-time applications, (ii) uses mobility information for predicting next location of the agents to deliver processed information, and (iii) efficiently handles delay and energy consumption. The performance evaluations yield that the proposed mobility prediction algorithm has approximately 93% accuracy and reduced the delay and power by approximately 23-26% and 37-41% respectively than compared to the existing mobility-aware task delegation system.

Automated health monitoring and alert system development is a demanding research area today. Most of the currently available monitoring and controlling medical devices are wired which limits freeness of working environment. Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a better alternative in such an environment. Neonatal intensive care unit is used to take care of sick and premature neonates. Hypothermia is an independent risk factor for neonatal mortality and morbidity. To prevent it an automated monitoring system is required. In this Letter, an automated neonatal health monitoring system is designed using sensor mobile cloud computing (SMCC). SMCC is based on WSN and MCC. In the authors' system temperature sensor, acceleration sensor and heart rate measurement sensor are used to monitor body temperature, acceleration due to body movement and heart rate of neonates. The sensor data are stored inside the cloud. The health person continuously monitors and accesses these data through the mobile device using an Android Application for neonatal monitoring. When an abnormal situation arises, an alert is generated in the mobile device of the health person. By alerting health professional using such an automated system, early care is provided to the affected babies and the probability of recovery is increased.
