The Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a major architectural paradigm
for achieving machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. It is estimated
that by 2025 there will be more than 75 billion internetworked IoT devices.
The fundamental principle behind IoT is the concept of a “resource” (or a
“thing”), that serves as an abstraction of a basic unit that interacts with its
environment, and is capable of providing services, data and control elements
to other internetworked resources. Many IoT scenarios can be characterized
by lots of (small) traffic, lots of entities, strong heterogeneity in links and
device capabilities, strong distribution, and highly sensitive data. Individual
nodes have limited compute resources and on-device storage (e.g., consider
Raspberry Pi single board computers). Their connectivity is often constrained
by factors such as the presence of NATs and firewalls, power constraints, and
intermittent network access. Although we already see the benefits provided
by special purpose IoT devices the true potential will only be realised when we
can use large numbers of distributed devices as part of a much larger federated
service. Management paradigms that foster such a development are fog and
edge computing.
Managing IoT-based systems requires enabling the orchestration of things by
managing resources that provide a) a hardware interface connecting the IT world
with the real world, and b) software services including gateways to Internet data
sources, reasoning on IoT data, and running orchestration applications. Key
management challenges involve provisioning, configuration, deployment, and
management of federated Internet-scale systems. Though being an evolution from
classical management, managing IoT things is still disruptive as classical
assumptions about connectivity, compute resources, or usage patterns do not hold
anymore. Management patterns that are tailored for Decentralized Orchestration
and Management of Distributed Heterogeneous Things are still missing.
In the DOMINOS workshop we want to address the challenges that emerge from
establishing management of the IoT.
DOMINOS will offer a venue for bringing together students,
researchers, and professionals from academia and industry sharing
common interest in architecture, design patterns, and best practices for
IoT management.
Our workshop will provide a platform for (1) discussing existing and
emerging challenges as well as future trends, (2) presenting and
discussing work-in-progress on cutting-edge technologies, and (3)
strengthening collaboration and research ties among peers.
