Abstract

Aggregate computing is proposed as a computational model and associated toolchain to engineer adaptive large-scale situated systems, including IoT and wearable computing systems. Though originated in the context of WSN-like (peer-to-peer and fully distributed) systems, we argue it is a model that can transparently fit a variety of execution platforms (decentralised, server-mediated, cloud/fog-oriented), due to its ability of declaratively designing systems by global-level abstractions: it opens the possibility of intrinsically supporting forms of load balancing, elasticity and toleration of medium- and long-term changes of computational infrastructures. To ground the discussion, we present ongoing work in the context of scafi, a language and platform support for computational fields based on the Scala programming language and Akka actor framework.

A Pattern for Fog Computing
VikingPLoP '16: Proceedings of the 10th Travelling Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

Fog Computing is a new variety of the cloud computing paradigm that brings virtualized cloud services to the edge of the network to control the devices in the IoT. We present a pattern for fog computing which describes its architecture, including its ...
Cloud computing and emerging IT platforms: Vision, hype, and reality for delivering computing as the 5th utility

With the significant advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) over the last half century, there is an increasingly perceived vision that computing will one day be the 5th utility (after water, electricity, gas, and telephony). This ...
