The smart grid utilizes many Internet of Things (IoT) applications to support its intelligent grid monitoring and control. The requirements of the IoT applications vary due to different tasks in the smart grid. In this paper, we propose a new computing paradigm to offer location-aware, latencysensitive monitoring and intelligent control for IoT applications in the smart grid. In particular, a new fog-based architecture and programming model is designed. Fog computing extends computing to the edge of a network, which has a perfect match to IoT applications. However, existing schemes can hardly satisfy the distributed coordination within fog computing nodes in the smart grid. In the proposed model, we introduce a new distributed fog computing coordinator, which periodically gathers information of fog computing nodes, e.g., remaining resources, tasks, etc. Moreover, the fog computing coordinator also manages jobs so that all computing nodes can collaborate on complex tasks. In addition, we construct a working prototype of intelligent electric vehicle service to evaluate the proposed model. Experiment results are also presented to demonstrate that our proposed model exceed the traditional fog computing schemes for IoT applications in the smart grid.

Fog or Edge computing has recently attracted broad attention from both industry and academia. It is deemed as a paradigm shift from the current centralized cloud computing model and could potentially bring a Fog-IoT architecture that would significan tly benefit the future ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) systems and applications. However, it takes a series of key enabling technologies including emerging technologies to realize such a vision. In this article, we will survey these key enabling technologies with specific focuses on security and scalability, which are two very important and much-needed characteristics for future large-scale deployment. We aim to draw an overall big picture of the future for the research and development in these areas.
Industry 4.0 applications foster new business opportunities but they also pose new and challenging requirements, such as low latency communications and highly reliable systems. They enable to exploit novel wireless technologies (5G), but it would als o be crucial to rely on architectures that appropriately support them. Thus, the combination of fog and cloud computing is emerging as one potential solution. It can dynamically allocate the workload depending on the specific needs of each application. Our main goal is to provide a highly reliable and dynamic architecture, which minimizes the time that an end node or user, for instance a car in a smart mobility application, spends in downloading the required data. In order to achieve this, we have developed an optimal distribution algorithm that decides, based on multiple parameters of the proposed system model, the amount of information that should be stored at, or retrieved from, each node to minimize the data download time. Our scheme exploits Network Coding (NC) as a tool for data distribution, as a key enabler of the proposed solution. We compare the performance of our proposed scheme with other alternative solutions, and the results show that there is a clear gain in terms of the download time.
The number of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices within cyber-physical infrastructure systems grows at an increasing rate. This poses significant device management and security challenges to current IoT networks. Among several approaches to c ope with these challenges, data-based methods rooted in deep learning (DL) are receiving an increased interest. In this paper, motivated by the upcoming surge of 5G IoT connectivity in industrial environments, we propose to integrate a DL-based anomaly detection (AD) as a service into the 3GPP mobile cellular IoT architecture. The proposed architecture embeds autoencoder based anomaly detection modules both at the IoT devices (ADM-EDGE) and in the mobile core network (ADM-FOG), thereby balancing between the system responsiveness and accuracy. We design, integrate, demonstrate and evaluate a testbed that implements the above service in a real-world deployment integrated within the 3GPP Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT) mobile operator network.
Cyber-physical systems integrate information and communication technology functions to the physical elements of a system for monitoring and controlling purposes. The conversion of traditional power grid into a smart grid, a fundamental example of a c yber-physical system, raises a number of issues that require novel methods and applications. In this context, an important issue is the verification of certain quantitative properties of the system. In this technical report, we consider a specific Chinese Smart Grid implementation and try to address the verification problem for certain quantitative properties including performance and battery consumption. We employ stochastic model checking approach and present our modelling and analysis study using PRISM model checker.
As the ratification of 5G New Radio technology is being completed, enabling network architectures are expected to undertake a matching effort. Conventional cloud and edge computing paradigms may thus become insufficient in supporting the increasingly stringent operating requirements of emph{intelligent~Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices} that can move unpredictably and at high speeds. Complementing these, the concept of fog emerges to deploy cooperative cloud-like functions in the immediate vicinity of various moving devices, such as connected and autonomous vehicles, on the road and in the air. Envisioning gradual evolution of these infrastructures toward the increasingly denser geographical distribution of fog functionality, we in this work put forward the vision of dense moving fog for intelligent IoT applications. To this aim, we review the recent powerful enablers, outline the main challenges and opportunities, and corroborate the performance benefits of collaborative dense fog operation in a characteristic use case featuring a connected fleet of autonomous vehicles.
