Orchestration of distributed hetero-geneous sensor networks and Internet of Things

Abstract

This paper focuses on management of sensor networks and Internet of Things. Two alternative architectures for service management in IoT and sensor networks are analyzed. The first one is based on Open Service Gateway (OSGi) framework and Remote Services for OSGi (R-OSGi) bundle. The second one extends Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm. The analysis confirms that these two architectures meet the requirements of both sensor networks and IoT management. However, to bypass the disadvantages of these architectures, the new one is proposed being a combination of the analyzed architectures. In our proposition, the OSGi framework is applied to manage local sensor networks and RESTbased architecture allows for managing complex services in Internet of Things. The RESTlet OSGi module integrates the OSGi management system for sensor networks with REST-based management of Internet of Things.

Software Architecture Solution Based on SDN for an Industrial IoT Scenario

“…Some works solve the orchestration of IIoT networks without SDN, like in [6], where an IoT network is orchestrated by a network of fog nodes, which manage all layers of an IoT ecosystem to integrate different service modules into a complex topology. In [7] two architectures for an IoT networks orchestration are presented, using OSGi (https://www.osgi.org) and REST (https://restfulapi.net/), paying attention only to higher layers, not to physical connection. Moreover, universal standards for IoT like oneM2M are not taken into account, missing interoperability.…”

Contributing to the planning and deployment of enabling technologies for Smart Cities and Smart Factories

“…It seems evident that this scenario requires a software architecture that allows the control of the entire network in a single entity, centralizing data processing, applications, and decision making, which in telecommunications networks is defined as "decoupling the control plane from the data plane". This is possible using a Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture [Wilusz14], [Bizanis16], [Jeschke16].…”
