A CoT architecture for local cloud and IoT networks based on agent using IETF CoAP

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Distributed cloud computing technology is one of the most famous topics nowadays. It centralize computing platform for cost and energy consumption by incorporating resources. With the advent of the cloud technologies, big data has attracted more and more attention. In this paper, we present t a novel CoT architecture for local cloud and IoT networks based on agent using IETF CoAP protocol. Then, we use Hadoop as a local Cloud. Methods/Statistical analysis: To learn and try smart devices and distributed file system, in the proposed work, we presented the CoT architecture between local Cloud and IoT Networks using IETF CoAP protocol, and developed an HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) agent for the communication between IoT devices and HDFS. Findings: We find it feasible and effective to use CoAP protocol for the communication between IoT devices and our developed HDFS Agent. We have successfully got sensing data from IoT devices and uploaded the sensing data files to HDFS through HDFS agent. Improvements/Applications: During our experiments, we used Edison boards and temperature sensor, and implemented our design successfully. We have planned to optimize our design by using deferent IoT devices in our future work.
