Virtual machine migration for IoT applications
Yutao Tang, Zhengrui Qin, Shanhe Yi, Qun Li · 2019
To integrate heterogeneous devices in IoT (Internet of Things), we design and implement an IoT system consisting of smart meters, smartphones, and cloud servers. In our system, a smartphone can rent its idle resources to the third party, which can install an application to conduct various tasks, such as collecting and processing data from nearby smart meters. Built on the top of Xen hypervisor and MiniOS, our system cannot only ensure smartphone's security by providing isolated resources to the application, but also guarantee data integrity and privacy of the application. We are the first to build a lightweight virtual machine migration system on an ARM-architecture smartphone.
