It requires sensing and capturing heterogeneous manufacturing resources and extensive data analysis through the industrial internet. However,the cloud computing and serviceoriented architecture are slightly inadequate in dynamic manufacturing resource management. This paper integrates the technology of edge computing and microservice and develops an intelligent edge gateway for internet of thing(IoT)-based manufacturing. Distributed manufacturing resources can be accessed through the edge gateway,and cloud-edge collaboration can be realized. The intelligent edge gateway provides a solution for complex resource ubiquitous perception in current manufacturing scenarios. Finally,a prototype system is developed to verify the effectiveness of the intelligent edge gateway.展开更多

In order to satisfy the service demand of intelligent logistics, this paper designed an intelligent logistics platform containing the main applications such as e-commerce, self-service transceiver, big data analysis, path location and distribution optimization. The intelligent logistics service platform has been built based on cloud computing to collect, store and handling multi-source heterogeneous mass data from sensors, RFID electronic tag, vehicle terminals and APP, so that the open-access cloud services including distribution, positioning, navigation, scheduling and other data services can be provided for the logistics distribution applications. And then the architecture of intelligent logistics cloud platform containing software layer(SaaS), platform layer(PaaS) and infrastructure(IaaS) has been constructed accordance with the core technology relative high concurrent processing technique, heterogeneous terminal data access, encapsulation and data mining. Therefore, intelligent logistics cloud platform can be carried out by the service mode for implementation to accelerate the construction of the symbiotic win-winlogistics ecological system and the benign development of the ICT industry in the trend of intellectualization in China.展开更多

文摘In recent days,advancements in the Internet of Things(IoT)and cloud computing(CC)technologies have emerged in different application areas,particularly healthcare.The use of IoT devices in healthcare sector often generates large amount of data and also spent maximum energy for data transmission to the cloud server.Therefore,energy efficient clustering mechanism is needed to effectively reduce the energy consumption of IoT devices.At the same time,the advent of deep learning(DL)models helps to analyze the healthcare data in the cloud server for decision making.With this motivation,this paper presents an intelligent disease diagnosis model for energy aware cluster based IoT healthcare systems,called IDDM-EAC technique.The proposed IDDM-EAC technique involves a 3-stage process namely data acquisition,clustering,and disease diagnosis.In addition,the IDDM-EAC technique derives a chicken swarm optimization based energy aware clustering(CSOEAC)technique to group the IoT devices into clusters and select cluster heads(CHs).Moreover,a new coyote optimization algorithm(COA)with deep belief network(DBN),called COA-DBN technique is employed for the disease diagnostic process.The COA-DBN technique involves the design of hyperparameter optimizer using COA to optimally adjust the parameters involved in the DBN model.In order to inspect the betterment of the IDDM-EAC technique,a wide range of experiments were carried out using real time data from IoT devices and benchmark data from UCI repository.The experimental results demonstrate the promising performance with the minimal total energy consumption of 63%whereas the EEPSOC,ABC,GWO,and ACO algorithms have showcased a higher total energy consumption of 69%,78%,83%,and 84%correspondingly.
文摘With the increasing importance of cloud services worldwide, the cloud infrastructure and platform management has become critical for cloud service providers. In this paper, a novel architecture of intelligent server management framework is proposed. In this framework, the communication layer is based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), which was developed for instant messaging and has been proven to be highly mature and suitable for mobile and large scalable deployment due to its extensibility and efficiency. The proposed architecture can simplify server management and increase flexibility and scalability when managing hundreds of thousands of servers in the cloud era.

文摘In recent years,statistics have indicated that the number of patients with malignant brain tumors has increased sharply.However,most surgeons still perform surgical training using the traditional autopsy and prosthesis model,which encounters many problems,such as insufficient corpse resources,low efficiency,and high cost.With the advent of the 5G era,a wide range of Industrial Internet of Things(IIOT)applications have been developed.Virtual Reality(VR)and Augmented Reality(AR)technologies that emerged with 5G are developing rapidly for intelligent medical training.To address the challenges encountered during neurosurgery training,and combining with cloud computing,in this paper,a highly immersive AR-based brain tumor neurosurgery remote collaborative virtual surgery training system is developed,in which a VR simulator is embedded.The system enables real-time remote surgery training interaction through 5G transmission.Six experts and 18 novices were invited to participate in the experiment to verify the system.Subsequently,the two simulators were evaluated using face and construction validation methods.The results obtained by training the novices 50 times were further analyzed using the Learning Curve-Cumulative Sum(LC-CUSUM)evaluation method to validate the effectiveness of the two simulators.The results of the face and content validation demonstrated that the AR simulator in the system was superior to the VR simulator in terms of vision and scene authenticity,and had a better effect on the improvement of surgical skills.Moreover,the surgical training scheme proposed in this paper is effective,and the remote collaborative training effect of the system is ideal.
文摘The internet of medical things(IoMT)empowers patients to get adaptable,and virtualized gear over the internet.Task scheduling is the most fundamental problem in the IoMT-cloud since cloud execution commonly relies on it.Thus,a proposition is being made for a distinct scheduling technique to suitably meet these solicitations.To manage the scheduling issue,an artificial intelligence(AI)method known as a hybrid genetic algorithm(HGA)is proposed.The proposed AI method will be justified by contrasting it with other traditional optimization and AI scheduling approaches.The CloudSim is utilized to quantify its effect on various parameters like time,resource utilization,cost,and throughput.The proposed AI technique enhanced the viability of task scheduling with a better execution rate of 32.47ms and a reduced time of 40.16ms.Thus,the experimented outcomes show that the HGA reduces cost as well as time profoundly.
