Abstract
The advancement in Edge computing and the fast adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is pushing the research in different fields involving popular topics such as CyberPhysical Systems, Smart Environments, Digital transformation, Industry 4.0, and much more. Nevertheless, with the great attention of the scientific community and government investments on these topics, at least one question is continuously tackled by researchers: how to realize realistic testbeds able to verify the solutions under analysis without assigning significant shares of their research funds? Nowadays, the scientific communities are working on designing and deploying distributed research infrastructures to support the researchers in their tests and evaluations. In this paper, we present our idea of a platform to provide a distributed infrastructure to support the researcher's work on IoT. For this purpose, containerization, Network, I/O virtualization, and Sensing and Actuation-as-a-Service (SAaaS) are techniques provided by the I/Ocloud paradigm, a solution exploiting the opensource IoT middleware Stack4Things.Pubblicazioni consigliate
