Orchestrating Quality of Service in the Cloud of Things Ecosystem

Cloud of Things (CoT) is a vision inspired by Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing where the IoT devices are connected to the clouds via the Internet for data storage, processing, analytics and visualization. CoT ecosystem will encompass heterogeneous clouds, networks and devices to provide seamless service delivery, for example, in smart cites. To enable efficient service delivery, there is a need to guarantee a certain level of quality of service from both cloud and networks perspective. This paper discusses the Cloud of Things, cloud computing, networks and new quality of service management research issues arising due to realisation of CoT ecosystem vision.
