As mobile computing has been developed for decades, a new model for mobile computing, namely, mobile cloud computing, emerges resulting from the marriage of powerful yet affordable mobile devices and cloud computing. In this paper we survey existing mobile cloud computing applications, as well as speculate future generation mobile cloud computing applications. We provide insights for the enabling technologies and challenges that lie ahead for us to move forward from mobile computing to mobile cloud computing for building the next generation mobile cloud applications. For each of the challenges, we provide a survey of existing solutions, identify research gaps, and suggest future research areas.
In this paper, we develop a methodology to capture and analyze the interplay of attack-defense strategies for intrusion detection in an autonomous distributed Internet of Things (IoT) system. In our formulation, every node must participate in lightweight intrusion detection of a neighbor target node. Consequently, every good node would play a set of defense strategies to faithfully defend the system while every bad node would play a set of attack strategies for achieving their own goals. We develop an analytical model based on Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) modeling techniques. Our methodology allows the optimal defense strategies to be played by good nodes to maximize the system lifetime when given a set of parameter values characterizing the distributed IoT system operational environment. We conduct a detailed performance evaluation based on an experiment dataset deriving from a reference autonomous distributed IoT system comprising 128 sensor-carrying mobile nodes and show how IDS defense mechanisms can counter malicious attack mechanisms under the ADIoTS system while considering multiple failure conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
