Sensor-Cloud for Internet of Things
Sudip Misra, Subhadeep Sarkar, Subarna Chatterjee · 2019
The vision of Internet of Things (IoT) is connecting people and things alike across the globe. The primary advantage of sensor-cloud’s not owning a sensor but still being able to use it, is similar to what the IoT envisions for its customers. As sensor-cloud is an extension of the conventional cloud-computing paradigm, end-users of sensor cloud are not aware of the complex back-end processing and analytics. Sensor-cloud subsidizes the sensor management aspects, which, in turn, automatically ensure improved data management in the IoT. Sensor-cloud provides an Application Programming Interface (API) to the end-users for managing sensors on their own. This includes not only launching customized queries from the API, but also facilitating simple sensor operations such as adding or deleting a sensor or selecting a particular sensor for the current services. The architecture of sensor-cloud is aligned with that of the IoT, which makes some of the components and modules re-usable with little or no modification.
