[Fiware-miwi] Fwd: [ITEE] Guest talk 16th April: Cloud Architectures for Cost-Efficient Applications and Services Provisioning in Internet of Things

[Toni Alatalo]

This guest lecture at the Oulu uni next Wed before noon seemed to
match many keywords in FI-WARE - I might go, perhaps of interest to
others as well. If the weekly is short doesn't overlap too much :)

Welcome to hear Professor Roch H. Glitho (Associate Professor and Canada
Research Chair, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada) on
state-of-the-art and research directions of Cloud Architectures for
Cost-Efficient Applications and Services Provisioning in Internet of Things

Time: Wednesday 16th April, 10-12 am
Venue: lecture room TS128, Tietotalo, entrance E

Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) aims at enabling interactions between devices
ranging from wireless sensors/actuators to smart meters and robots, with
little or no human intervention. Applications and services provisioning
(e.g. development, deployment and management) in IoT remains rather cost
inefficient.  Applications and services are still usually embedded in
IoT infrastructure at deployment time. This precludes re-use by new
applications and services, and leads to redundant IoT infrastructure
deployment. IoT Applications and services provisioning platforms do not
enable cost efficiency because they do not offer application programming
interfaces (APIs) suitable to users with different levels of technical
skills. In addition they do not enable easy re-use of third party
components. Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm with several facets
(e.g. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS),
and Software as a Service (SaaS)) and several inherent benefits (e.g.
efficiency in resource usage, easy introduction of new applications and
services, scalability, and flexibility in pricing). These benefits make
it an ideal candidate for bringing cost efficiency to the realm of IoT
applications and services provisioning. This invited speech focuses on
cloud architectures for cost efficient applications and services
provisioning in IoT. There actually two approaches to cloud
architectures for cost efficient applications provisioning in IoT. The
first approach leverages the storage and processing power in cloud
fabrics while the second goes much further and applies true cloud
computing concepts (e.g. virtualization) to IoT infrastructure. These
two approaches are reviewed in this speech and research directions are
identified.

Instructor's biography:
Roch H. Glitho [SM] (http://www.ece.concordia.ca/~glitho/) holds a Ph.D.
(Tekn. Dr.) in tele-informatics (Royal Institute of Technology,
Stockholm, Sweden). He also holds M.Sc. degrees in business economics
(University of Grenoble, France), pure mathematics (University Geneva,
Switzerland), computer science (University of Geneva). He is as an
associate professor of networking and telecommunications at the
Concordia Institute of Information Systems Engineering (CIISE),
(Concordia University, Montreal) where he holds the Canada Research
Chair in End-user Services Engineering for Communications Networks. In
the past he has worked in industry for almost a quarter of a century and
has held several senior technical positions at LM Ericsson in Sweden and
Canada (e.g. expert, principal engineer, senior specialist). His
industrial experience includes research, international standards setting
(e.g. contributions to ITU-T, ETSI, TMF, ANSI, TIA, and 3GPP), product
management, project management, systems engineering and
software/firmware design. In the past he has served as IEEE
Communications Society distinguished lecturer, Editor-In-Chief of IEEE
Communications Magazine and Editor-In-Chief of IEEE Communications
Surveys & Tutorials. His research areas include architectures for
end-users applications, cloud computing, virtualization, Internet of
Things, distributed systems, and ICT for development.
