Over the last few years, the number of smart objects connected to the Internet has grown exponentially in comparison to the number of services and applications. The integration between Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, named as Cloud of Things, plays a key role in managing the connected things, their data and services. One of the main challenges in Cloud of Things is the resource discovery of the smart objects and their reuse in different contexts. Most of the existent work uses some kind of multi-criteria decision analysis algorithm to perform the resource discovery, but do not evaluate the impact that the user constraints has in the final solution. In this paper, we analyse the behaviour of the SAW, TOPSIS and VIKOR multi-objective decision analyses algorithms and the impact of user constraints on them. We evaluated the quality of the proposed solutions using the Pareto-optimality concept.
@cite_23 shows an architecture named DQS-Cloud to optimize the sensor search, autonomous fault tolerance mechanism and avoid SLA violations. The search is based on keywords and in the QoS attributes desired by the users. The DQS-Cloud aims to minimize the communication overhead reusing data flows with similar QoS levels. The results shows that the DQS-Cloud was capable to minimize the bandwidth and processing rate in the providers.

With the advent of Internet of Things, the field of domain sensing is increasingly being servitized. In order to effectively support this servitization, there is a growing need for a powerful and easy-to-use infrastructure that enables seamless sharing of sensor data in real-time. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of Data Quality-Aware Sensor Cloud (DQS-Cloud), a cloud-based sensor data services infrastructure. DQS-Cloud is characterized by three novel features. First, data-quality is pervasive throughout the infrastructure ranging from feed discovery to failure resilience. Second, it incorporates autonomic-computing-based techniques for dealing with sensor failures as well as data quality dynamics. Third, DQS-Cloud also features a unique sensor stream management engine that optimizes the system performance by dynamically placing stream management operators. This paper reports several experiments to study the effectiveness and the efficiency of the framework.
