Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible experimentation in wireless sensor networks
Geoff Coulson,Barry Porter,Ioannis Chatzigiannakis,Christos Koninis,Stefan Fischer,Dennis Pfisterer,Daniel Bimschas,Torsten Braun,Philipp Hurni,Markus Anwander,Gerald Wagenknecht,Sándor P. Fekete,Alexander Kröller,Tobias Baumgartner +13 more
TL;DR: Virtual testbeds model systems by seamlessly integrating physical, simulated, and emulated sensor nodes and radios in real time to provide real-time feedback on how the system works.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Using Micro-Clouds to Deliver the Fog
Yehia Elkhatib,Barry Porter,Heverson B. Ribeiro,Mohamed Faten Zhani,Junaid Qadir,Etienne Rivière +5 more
TL;DR: Through a number of experiments, the authors showcase the feasibility and readiness of micro-clouds formed by collections of Raspberry Pis to host a range of fog applications, particularly for network-constrained environments.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experiences with open overlays: a middleware approach to network heterogeneity
TL;DR: This paper proposes the 'open overlays' framework, which accommodates 'overlay plug-ins', allows physical nodes to support multiple overlays, supports the stacking of overlays to create composite protocols, and adopts a declarative approach to configurable deployment and dynamic reconfigurability.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving spark application throughput via memory aware task co-location: a mixture of experts approach
TL;DR: It is shown that by accurately estimating the resource level that is needed, a co-location scheme can effectively determine how many applications can be co-located on the same host to improve the system throughput, by taking into consideration the memory and CPU requirements of co-running application tasks.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Dynamic reconfiguration in sensor middleware
TL;DR: A sensor middleware that can be customised to suit different sensor application types is described, and a reflective approach for co-ordinated network-wide dynamic reconfiguration of sensor behaviour is provided.
