Internet of Things, resource allocation, resource discovery, resource managementAbstract
Efficient resource management is a challenging task in distributed systems, such as the Internet of Things, fog, edge, and cloud computing. In this work, we present a broad overview of the Internet of Things ecosystem and of the challenges related to managing its resources. We also investigate the need for efficient resource management and the guidelines given/suggested by Standard Development Organizations. Additionally, this paper contains a comprehensive survey of the individual phases of resource management processes, focusing on resource modeling, resource discovery, resource estimation, and resource allocation approaches based on performance parameters or metrics, as well as on architecture types. This paper presents also the architecture of a generic resource management enabler. Furthermore, we present open issues concerning resource management, pointing out the directions of future research related to the Internet of Things.
