Title: ===== Cloud services for the Internet of Things Abstract: ======== There is a good level of consensus on how to deploy cloud computing services to benefit a variety of workloads, from enterprise and web 2.0 applications to big data analytics and even HPC. This talk argues that in the domain of mobile applications, cloud services have succeeded in some scenarios, but so far without a convincing demonstration that we achieved a good solution. With the increasing relevance of applications leveraging Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology, cloud services for IoT is becoming the new frontier. Many researchers and companies propose a move from cloud computing to fog computing. This talk discusses how experimental testbeds may be useful in characterizing the trade-offs between cloud computing and fog computing.
