Secure and Optimized Cloud-Based Cyber-Physical Systems with Memory-Aware Scheduling Scheme

Abstract

Computer based algorithms are used for monitoring and controlling a computers where human, physical, digital and analog interaction occurs. This scheme termed as cyber-physical systems (CPS) is being deployed in a wide array of applications due to its easy deployment feature and connectivity. CPS based on cloud computing technology offers wider application range with enormous amount of storage and computing resources. However, despite the wide application and deployment of CPS in combining the key technologies like big data analytics, cloud computing and IoT, its energy consumption is large. Optimization of this energy is a major field of research and is of due importance. For this purpose, in cloud environment, virtual machines (VMs) are used for hosting the applications and the resources are managed thereby optimizing the energy consumption. The security issues and the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the system is also met by optimizing the system design. The scheduling issue of the system is addressed by implementation of efficient memory-aware scheduling strategy and algorithms. The proposed technique is tested for performance and the results of simulation is presented.
