Load Balancing Algorithm of API Gateway Based on Microservice Architecture for a Smart City

Abstract As the entrance of the computer systems, the API gateway is an indispensable part of the microservice architecture. To realize the load balancing of API gateway, this paper studies the load balancing algorithm of the API gateway based on the microservice architecture. In doing this, we analyze the microservice architecture level from the data layer, the basic layer, and other levels, take the container cloud as the carrier of the microservice architecture, combine it with the client and API gateway, and design the API gateway based on the microservice architecture. We then judge whether the microservice identifier in the request source of the API gateway client is included in the API gateway routing table and determine the service cluster to which the microservice belongs according to the microservice identifier. After retrieving the qualified backend microservice container list according to the service cluster information, it adopts a load balancing algorithm based on dynamic weight, takes central processing unit (CPU) utilization and memory utilization as parameters to evaluate the resource load of microservers, uses an extreme gradient lifting model to predict CPU utilization and memory utilization, calculates the weight of microservers based on the prediction results, selects the microserver with the highest weight value to make API gateway service requests, and initiates API gateway service calls to specific backend microservice containers, thereby completing the load balancing of the API gateway. The experimental results show that the average load balancing degree of the algorithm is about 95 %, the average network resource utilization rate is as high as 89 %, and the algorithm execution time is short.

A secure framework for effective workload resource management

An efficient and dynamic role-based access-control (RBAC) model is presented in this work which utilizes access-control for internet of things (IoT) nodes while minimizing storage and computational overhead. Also, for the identification of the malicious packets at the gateway server, a machine learning method has been presented. In addition, a framework for data management techniques in the IoT environment is designed to ensure efficient and secure storage, management, and processing of IoT data. The results have been evaluated by using the Montage and Cybershake workload in terms of energy consumption, processing time, detection accuracy and misclassification rate. The results show that the proposed secure framework for effective workload resource management (SFE-WRM) attains better performance in comparison to the reliable and energy‐efficient route selection (REERS) and FTA-WRM method. Also, by using the security method, the proposed method provides better security to the IoT nodes during the data aggregation and processing of the workload. The ultimate aim of this work is to provide a solution for the development of a secure and efficient IoT environment that can address critical security challenges and enable the widespread adoption of IoT devices and services.

Demonstrating Spoofability of an Originating Number when Sending an SMS using SMPP

The short message service (SMS), a service for exchanging texts via mobile networks, has become a universal means of communication. SMS is a mechanism for sending a text message to a specific mobile phone number. Its protocol enables the sender to specify the destination phone number but not the originating number. However, the short message peer-to-peer (SMPP) protocol, which forwards SMS messages, enables the sender to specify the originating number. If the SMPP protocol allows the sender to specify another person’s phone number as the originator, an attacker can use it to send a short message impersonating another person. In this study, short messages were sent from an SMPP gateway service with any phone number specified as the originator, and their delivery to the Japanese mobile network was verified. All the verified mobile network operators (MNOs) were able to spoof the origin to any international phone number, and one MNO was able to spoof it to any national phone number. The results of this study reveal that SMPP can potentially be exploited to spoof the originating number of an SMS. Furthermore, a threat scenario was devised using spoofing and mitigation measures.

Interventions Aimed at Alleviating Loneliness and Social Isolation among the Older Population: Perspectives of Service Providers

Background. Older people are one of the groups particularly vulnerable to loneliness due to factors such as deteriorating health, widowhood and death of friends/family, fewer confiding relationships, and being more likely to live alone. In the United Kingdom, services to alleviate and/or prevent loneliness can be classified as foundation services, direct interventions, gateway services, and structural enablers. Service managers and personnel involved in the delivery of interventions for older people are well-positioned to report on the mechanisms that contribute to the effectiveness of interventions. This study aimed to elicit from the perspective of a range of service providers, the barriers and facilitators of successful service provision, and the reduction of loneliness among older people. Methods. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 23 service managers of services providing an intervention to older people in Northern Ireland. Services were eligible for inclusion if they reported a goal of preventing or reducing loneliness and/or social isolation among older people. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Results. Eight themes were produced representing barriers or facilitators of successful service delivery, including characteristics of the service (person-centred approach, empowerment of service users and staff/volunteers, personal qualities of staff and volunteers, and funding for service provision) and characteristics of the wider community were services were located (hard to identify and/or reach lonely people; education and awareness of services; family and community structures; and accessible, affordable, and safe public transport). Conclusion. Developments in this area should prioritise integrated, systemic solutions that harness capacity and partnership working within communities, grounded in the principles of empowerment, inclusion, self-determination, and collective action.

Experiences Modeling a OPC UA / DDS Gateway in AADL in the Context of Fog Computing

The legacy protocols still used in industrial automation are an obstacle to interoperability. In the meantime, while newer protocols are slowly replacing gateways, they can provide a bridge between new and legacy protocols. The Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) was used in the Fog Computing for Robotics and Industrial Automation (FORA) project to model a Fog Computing Platform (FCP). Part of the FCP is an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) / Data Distribution Service (DDS) gateway. The main goal was to develop an AADL model that allows the creation of platform-specific instances of such a gateway and the creation of other gateways. While the gateway model is incomplete, it formed the basis for several gateway prototypes. Challenges included complex data structures and tooling issues related to code generation. Nevertheless, the experiences with the AADL modeling of the gateway and the FCP were positive overall.

A Federated Blockchain Architecture for File Storage with Improved Latency and Reliability in IoT DApp Services.

Blockchain technology can address data falsification, single point of failure (SPOF), and DDoS attacks on centralized services. By utilizing IoT devices as blockchain nodes, it is possible to solve the problem that it is difficult to ensure the integrity of data generated by using current IoT devices. However, as the amount of data generated by IoT devices increases, scalability issues are inevitable. As a result, large amounts of data are managed on external cloud storage or distributed file storage. However, this has the disadvantage of being outside the blockchain network. This makes it difficult to ensure reliability and causes high latency during data download and upload. To address these limitations, we propose a method for managing large amounts of data in the local storage node of a blockchain network with improved latency and reliability. Each blockchain network node stores data, which is synchronized and recovered based on reaching a consensus between smart contracts in a cluster network. The cluster network consists of a service leader node that serves as a gateway for services and a cluster node that stores service data in storage. The blockchain network stores synchronization and recovery metadata created in the cluster network. In addition, we showed that the performance of smart contract execution, network transmission, and metadata generation, which are elements of the proposed consensus process, is not significantly affected. In addition, we built a service leader node and a cluster node by implementing the proposed structure. We compared the performance (latency) of IoT devices when they utilized the proposed architecture and existing external distributed storage. Our results show improvements up to 4 and 10 times reduction in data upload (store) and download latency, respectively.

An Internet of Things (IoT) Based Neighbourhood Distress Alert System

To acquiesce to the increase in territorial invasion of communities by hoodlums, bandits and kidnappers every day, some communities have resorted to engage the services of security agents or guards to watch over and alert them in the case of any security breach. However, the neighbourhood s found in some locations especially, in the rural areas impact on the cost of employing guards, and the consequent disagreement amongst residents in the neighbourhood security meeting. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) based system for alerting residents in a neighbourhood as well as reporting the actual location of a particular neighbour in distress. To achieve this, a hardware system based on NodeMCU with built-in Wi-Fi chip for internet routing is designed. Communication is established remotely between the hardware system and the cloud through the server Application Programming Interface (API) that utilizes cloud resources such as Short Message Service (SMS) gateway and Google map API to craft SMS and fetch location coordinate from Google map Uniform Resource Location (URL) respectively. This piece of information is then displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device on users’ machine and mobile phones in real time for notification. The test carried out shows that the developed system is reliable and affordable for use in a neighbourhood.

Dynamic Context Awareness of Universal Middleware based for IoT SNMP Service Platform

This study focused on the Universal Middleware design for the IoT (Internet of Things) service gateway for the implementation module of the convergence platform. Recently, IoT service gateway including convergence platform could be supported on dynamic module system that is required mounting and recognized intelligent status with the remote network protocol. These awareness concepts support the dynamic environment of the cross-platform distributed computing technology is supported by these idea as a Universal Middleware for network substitution. Distribution system commonly used in recent embedded systems include CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture), RMI (Remote Method Invocation), DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) for dynamic service interface, and suggested implementations of a device object context. However, the aforementioned technologies do not support each standardization of application services, communication protocols, and data, but are also limited in supporting inter-system scalability. In particular, in order to configure an IoT service module, the system can be simplified, and an independent service module can be configured as long as it can support the standardization of modules based on hardware and software components. This paper proposed a design method for Universal Middleware that, by providing IoT modules and service gateways with scalability for configuring operating system configuration, may be utilized as an alternative. This design could be a standardized interface provisioning way for hardware and software components as convergence services, and providing a framework for system construction. Universal Middleware Framework could be presented and dynamic environment standardization module of network protocols, various application service modules such as JINI (Apache River), UPnP (Universal Plug & Play), SLP (Service Location Protocol) bundles that provide communication facilities, and persistence data module. In this IoT gateway, management for based Universal Middleware framework support and available for each management operation, application service component could be cross-executed over SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) version 1, version 2, and version 3. The way of SNMP extension service modules are conducted cross-support each module and independent system meta-information that could be built life cycle management component through the MIB (Management Information Base) information unit analysis. Therefore, the MIB role of relation with the Dispatcher applied to support multiple concurrent SNMP messages by receiving incoming messages and managing the transfer of PDU (Protocol Data Unit) between the RFC 1906 network in this study. Results of the study revealed utilizing Universal Middleware that dynamic situations of context objects with mechanisms and tools to publish information could be consisted of IoT to standardize module interfaces to external service clients as a convergence between hardware and software platforms.

Utilization of Business Analytics by SMEs In Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions

Halal supply chain management has transformed beyond food and beverage certification. However, extant literature shows that Halal transaction management still has much to improve in terms of transaction permissibility, with the main gap in understanding Halal businesses and their transactions limited to a system that separately defines e-commerce and financial technology data into its IT business environment. This study aims to demonstrate the usefulness of managing Halal transactions and its permissibility analysis through a proposed Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions (HSCMT) model and prototype by applying a business analytic approach to integrate both e-commerce and financial technology data. The study uses literature analysis to ensure the correct structure of the integrated datasets, before modeling the transaction's permissibility and prototyping its analytics into decision-making analytics. The developed HSCMT prototype uses a payment gateway that can be embedded into a Halal SME owners' e-commerce site. This creates a holistic Halal Financial technology (FinTech) transaction permissibility dashboard, increasing the effectiveness of HSCMT for Malaysia Halal SME Owners (MHSO) by an average usability score of 83.67%. Results also indicate that the key basic mechanisms to verify transactional permissibility are the source of the transaction, the use of the transaction, transaction flow, and transaction agreement. Furthermore, its mechanisms must be mapped onto a submodule post-transformation and modeling of the transaction dataset. Further improvements in multisource data points can be further considered, as this research only focuses on local data points from one payment gateway service. This is due to restrictions in data policy when involving overseas supply chain and transaction documentation. This research utilizes available data in business through data management, optimization, mining, and visualization to measure performance and drive a company's growth. The competency of business analytics can be beneficial to Halal SMEs players because it can provide them with insights into the permissibility decision-making process.
