Abstract:
Satellites are expected to be an integral part of ubiquitous communications required for implementing the Internet of Things. Data communications between Earth and spacecrafts, such as satellites, have traditionally been carried out through dedicated links. Shared links using Internet Protocol-based communication offers a number of advantages over dedicated links. The movement of spacecrafts however gives rise to mobility management issues.
This talk will discuss various mobility management solutions for extending the Internet of Things to satellites. The talk will provide an overview of the network layer based solution being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force and compare with the transport layer-based solution that has been developed at the University of Oklahoma in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for incorporating satellites in the Internet of Things. Network in motion is an extension of the host mobility protocols for managing the mobility of networks that are in motion, such as those in airplanes and trains. The application of networks in motion will be illustrated for both terrestrial and space environments.

Abstract:
In Internet of Things (IoT), availability of devices, reliability of communication, Quality of Service (QoS), and security are all essential for the good functioning of applications. Over the time, the state of devices and the overall network may depreciate. This is due to the challenging and failure-prone nature of IoT; consisting of a huge number of heterogeneous and resource-constrained things in terms of memory, communication, energy and computational capabilities.
To ensure robustness, monitoring the network state, performance and functioning of the nodes and links is crucial, especially for critical applications. Safety-critical applications, such as a distributed fire- or burglar-alarm system, require that all sensor nodes are up and functional. Monitoring is also important to measure the trust level of nodes when collaboration is needed.
In this talk, we will introduce all the concept above. So, we will first introduce the Internet of Things, its challenges and the monitoring concept. We will present the Research motivations and objectives for the monitoring. After presenting the stat-of-the-art research on monitoring, we will present our theoretical solutions for monitoring IoT: heuristic, exact and distributed/dynamic solutions. We finish the talk with some future directions.
