Abstract

This paper proposes a cloud-integrated sensor networking architecture, called Sensor-Cloud Integration Platform as a Service (SC-iPaaS), which hosts virtualized sensors in clouds and operates physical sensors through their virtual counter- parts. SC-iPaaS performs push-pull hybrid communication between three layers: cloud, edge and sensor layers. This pa- per formulates an optimization problem for SC-iPaaS to seek the optimal data transmission rates for individual nodes and examines evolutionary optimization with respect to multiple conflicting objectives subject to given constraints. Simula- tion results show that multiobjective analysis is critical in configuring and operating three-tier push-pull hybrid com- munication in SC-iPaaS.
