Abstract
The purpose of this book is to discuss the issues regarding resource management in Internet of Things (IoT ) from a holistic standpoint. In order to build the foundation on which our discussion will be conducted, in this chapter we first introduce some basic definitions that are relevant to our study, such as resource, resource management and IoT ecosystem . Then, we identify the main requirements and challenges related to resource management in the specific context of IoT. Finally, we describe the typical activities involved in the all-embracing resource management process according to our proposed holistic view. For all purposes, we will consider throughout this book a generic scenario of an IoT ecosystem consisting of several heterogeneous interconnected devices , whose data and services (virtual and physical resources) are used by several different applications that access such pool of resources via network. IoT devices include both resource-constrained and resource-rich devices. We consider resource-rich devices as those that have the hardware and software capability to support the TCP/IP protocol suite. Besides IoT devices, the IoT ecosystem also includes gateways, edge nodes and cloud data centres.
