An Internet of Things Service Roadmap

We propose a roadmap for leveraging the tremendous opportunities the Internet of Things (IoT) has to offer. We argue that the combination of the recent advances in service computing and IoT technology provide a unique framework for innovations not yet envisaged, as well as the emergence of yet-to-be-developed IoT applications. This roadmap covers: emerging novel IoT services, articulation of major research directions, and suggestion of a roadmap to guide the IoT and service computing community to address key IoT service challenges.

Layer-based Composite Reputation Bootstrapping

We propose a novel generic reputation bootstrapping framework for composite services. Multiple reputation-related indicators are considered in a layer-based framework to implicitly reflect the reputation of the component services. The importance of an indicator on the future performance of a component service is learned using a modified Random Forest algorithm. We propose a topology-aware Forest Deep Neural Network (fDNN) to find the correlations between the reputation of a composite service and reputation indicators of component services. The trained fDNN model predicts the reputation of a new composite service with the confidence value. Experimental results with real-world dataset prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Elastic Composition of Crowdsourced IoT Energy Services

We propose a novel type of service composition, called elastic composition which provides a reliable framework in a highly fluctuating IoT energy provisioning settings. We rely on crowdsourcing IoT energy (e.g., wearables) to provide wireless energy to nearby devices. We introduce the concepts of soft deadline and hard deadline as key criteria to cater for an elastic composition framework. We conduct a set of experiments on real-world datasets to assess the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Long-term IaaS Selection using Performance Discovery

We propose a novel framework to select IaaS providers according to a consumer's long-term performance requirements. The proposed framework leverages free short-term trials to discover the unknown QoS performance of IaaS providers. We design a temporal skyline-based filtering method to select candidate IaaS providers for the short-term trials. A novel cooperative long-term QoS prediction approach is developed that utilizes past trial experiences of similar consumers using a workload replay technique. We propose a new trial workload generation model that estimates a provider's long-term performance in the absence of past trial experiences. The confidence of the prediction is measured based on the trial experience of the consumer. A set of experiments are conducted based on real-world datasets to evaluate the proposed framework.

Resilient Composition of Drone Services for Delivery

We propose a novel resilient drone service composition framework for delivery in dynamic weather conditions. We use a skyline approach to select an optimal set of candidate drone services at the source node in a skyway network. Drone services are initially composed using a novel constraint-aware deterministic lookahead algorithm using the multi-armed bandit tree exploration. We propose a heuristic-based resilient service composition approach that adapts to runtime changes and periodically updates the composition to meet delivery expectations. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Signature-based Selection of IaaS Cloud Services

We propose a novel approach to select IaaS cloud services for a long-term period where the service providers offer limited QoS information. The proposed approach leverages free short-term trials to obtain the previously undisclosed QoS information. A new significance-based trial scheme is proposed using frequency distribution analysis to test a consumer's long-term workloads in a short trial. We introduce a novel IaaS signature technique to uniquely identify the variability of a provider's QoS performance. A Signature-based QoS Performance Discovery (SPD) algorithm is proposed which leverages the combination of free trials and IaaS signatures. A set of exhaustive experiments with real-world datasets is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach.

A Game-Theoretic Drone-as-a-Service Composition for Delivery

We propose a novel game-theoretic approach for drone service composition considering recharging constraints. We design a non-cooperative game model for drone services. We propose a non-cooperative game algorithm for the selection and composition of optimal drone services. We conduct several experiments on a real drone dataset to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed approach.

Incentive-Based Selection and Composition of IoT Energy Services

We propose a novel incentive-based framework for composing energy service requests. An incentive model is designed that considers the context of the providers and consumers to determine rewards for sharing wireless energy. We propose a novel priority scheduling approach to compose energy service requests that maximizes the reward of the provider. A set of exhaustive experiments with a dataset and collected IoT users' behavior is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for Delivery

We propose a novel framework for composing Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. Two composition approaches, i.e., sequential and parallel are designed considering the different behaviors of drone swarms. The proposed framework considers various constraints, e.g., recharging time and limited battery to meet delivery deadlines. We propose SDaaS composition algorithms using a modified A* algorithm. A cooperative behavior model is incorporated to reduce recharging and waiting time in a delivery. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.

A Conflict Detection Framework for IoT Services in Multi-resident Smart Homes

We propose a novel framework to detect conflicts among IoT services in a multi-resident smart home. A novel IoT conflict model is proposed considering the functional and non-functional properties of IoT services. We design a conflict ontology that formally represents different types of conflicts. A hybrid conflict detection algorithm is proposed by combining both knowledge-driven and data-driven approaches. Experimental results on real-world datasets show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
