A scalable and manageable IoT architecture based on transparent computing

Abstract With the explosion of connected devices, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is expected to be the fundamental infrastructure of the information society and receives a wide variety of applications in different scenarios. However, the fast-growing IoT technology is still facing many challenges posed by large-scale heterogeneous IoT devices. To address these challenges we propose a transparent computing based IoT architecture to build scalable and manageable IoT applications. The proposed architecture consists of five layers, i.e., end-user layer, edge network layer, core network layer, service&storage layer, and management layer. It can provide centralized management of various resources like operating systems, services and data for IoT applications, and enable on-demand services to be executed on heterogeneous IoT devices. We also build a prototype system to evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture in terms of the delay and energy consumption in remote service updating. The experimental results demonstrate that it can provide efficient management of various resources and achieve on-demand service provisioning for IoT devices.
