Abstract

This paper proposes a cloud-integrated sensor networking architecture, called Sensor-Cloud Integration Platform as a Service (SC-iPaaS), which hosts virtualized sensors in clouds and operates physical sensors through their virtual counterparts. SC-iPaaS performs push-pull hybrid communication between three layers: cloud, edge and sensor layers. This paper formulates an optimization problem for SC-iPaaS to seek the optimal data transmission rates for individual nodes and examines evolutionary optimization with respect to multiple conflicting objectives subject to given constraints. Simulation results show that multiobjective analysis is critical in configuring and operating three-tier push-pull hybrid communication in SC-iPaaS.
