Software-defined provisioning of Internet of Things applications in fog computing systems

该项目旨在研究并提供解决方案，以实现与云环境，网络设备和物联网设备看似集成的雾计算（FC）范例。雾计算（FC）是一种新兴的范式，对推进信息和通信技术具有巨大的潜力。该项目使用跨学科方法，预计将产生新的知识，以优化FC系统的硬件和软件资源。该项目的成果包括通过建立新的数学框架和优化目标的实际解决方案。该项目预计将提供智能空间的有效监测和控制，城市和农村环境的管理，并将在能源，安全，交通和公共卫生领域应用。

This project aims to investigate and provide solutions for the realisation of a seemingly integrated Fog Computing (FC) paradigm with cloud environments, networking devices and Internet of Things devices. Fog Computing (FC) is an emerging paradigm with great promises for advancing Information and Communications Technologies. Using interdisciplinary approaches, the project expects to generate new knowledge for optimising both hardware and software resources of a FC system. Outcomes of this project include practical solutions through building novel mathematical frameworks and optimisation objectives. The project is expected to provide efficient monitoring and control of intelligent spaces, management of urban and rural environments and will have applications in the areas of energy, security, transport and public health.
