Cloud of things – Integrating IoTs with cloud

W rapidly increasing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and Internet of Things (IoTs) based services; a lot of data is being generated. It is becoming very difficult to manage power constrained small sensors and other data generating devices. With IoTs, anything can become part of the Internet and generate data. Moreover, data generated needs to be managed according to its requirements, in order to create more valuable services. For this purpose, IoTs are proposed to be integrated with cloud computing, through an intermediary extended cloud, known as Fog. Fog is a localized cloud, where resources are made available to the underlying IoTs and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paradigm is known as Fog computing. This presentation will provide the technical and theoretical knowledge on why IoT and cloud integration is important and how is it going to be made possible. Moreover, the noteworthy use cases would be discussed, which can be of interest of the individuals from industries as well as academia. Graduate students would also be able to get an idea of this upcoming paradigm and focus their research areas accordingly.
