M2-FoT: a Proposal for Monitoring and Management of Fog of Things Platforms
Nilson Sousa, Cassio Vinicius Serafim Prazeres · 2018
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm in which physical objects embedded with sensors and actuators are connected by networks to the Internet. IoT allows the creation of solutions for various areas of human life. However, predictions show that the number of these objects connected to the Internet tend to increase more and more, thus necessitating new techniques of management, control and maintenance. These techniques should allow IoT platforms to be highly available and coverage. Thus, this work presents M2-FoT, a proposal for monitoring and management of Fog of Things (FoT) platforms. Unlike other works, M2-FoT also presents a method for retrieving device configuration. M2-FoT was implanted on a Fog platform for IoT: the SOFT-IoT. Finally, some experiments were performed to verify the performance of M2-FoT, in order to evaluate its impact on the SOFT-IoT platform.
