Service oriented network architecture for scalable M2M and sensor network services

Network systems have evolved connecting various types of terminals and machines such as M2M system and sensor networks. On the other hand, the cloud data centers that have enormous processing capacity have been constructed by installing thousands of servers. New services will be created by connecting these resources. In this paper, three technical issues for M2M and cloud data center connected system will be shown: scalability, latency, and wasting system resources. We have developed service-oriented system architecture named “AAN” to solve these issues. The key components of AAN are add-on functions such as filter or cache functions on a messaging platform and a controller for them. Then, we also show our concept and technologies as a developed prototype system. Adaptive network cache achieved faster response time than without it.
