WSN6264 : CLOUD NETWORKING FOR IoT

Cloud computing is a widely used technology that provides theoretically unlimited computing and storage capabilities, and efficient communication services for transferring terabyte flows between data centers in an easy way. All these features make cloud computing a promising choice for supporting IoT services and applications. This course covers the various aspects of the integration of IoT, Networking and Cloud computing. There are significant benefits in the integration of IoT devices with cloud computing systems and network infrastructures along with different services. Networking solutions specifically designed for the exploitation of Cloud services in IoT scenarios assume a crucial role. Also, virtualization techniques make pools of (virtual) sensors and actuators available as new types of on-demand resources over the Cloud that can be integrated with other resources and exposed as cloud-based services. They allow developers to differentiate circuits aimed at IoT interactions, to increase Cloud scalability and efficiency in service provisioning.
