Energy-efficient and fault tolerant methods for message delivery in Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is an emerging paradigm shaping our current understanding about the future of Internet. Most of today´s inter-enterprise applications follow the distributed computing paradigm in which parts of the application are executed on different network-interconnected computers. The paper presents a state-of-the art review with a particular focus on resource management architectures, models and algorithms in Clouds and inter-Clouds for energy-efficient message delivery and covers the existing methods that support fault tolerance. The paper also presents a critical overview for existing methods focusing on delimiting the area of resource management, resource allocation, scalability, and fault tolerance in Clouds and inter-Clouds. The simulation will be an instrument for theoretical validation and a critical analysis of Cloud Simulators and identify the main benefits of each one will represent another important results.
