Cone Model in Resource Provisioning for Service-Oriented Architecture System: An Effective Network Management to the Internet of Things

The rapid growth of technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) has thrown newer challenges to resource management, making it one of the crucial tasks in dynamic application scenarios of IoT. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) plays an important role in this respect by proffering reference architecture towards better positioning of infrastructural software and hardware components, mostly comprehending from a service-oriented perspective. In this direction, we propose Cone Model that deals with the performance and handling issues with SOA system. Service integration is an all-important feature of SOA that supports communication and interaction between multiple service components (Service Containers). In addition to discussing the related work for critical resource allocation algorithms, this paper proposes Cone Model for assigning an available set of resources to requested services, explained through mathematical expressions and algorithms of the model. These algorithms justify how different services from various devices in IoT can be provisioned on the adoption of this proposed cone model. It is illustrated through the estimated utilization of resources by the services. The proposed model aligns with the applications in multifarious domains, primarily in the IoT and in areas of resource sharing for cloud computing and massive data centers. © 2013 IEEE.
