m-cloud -- Distributed Statistical Computation Using Multiple Cloud Computers

摘要

In the age of IoT (Internet of Things), tens (or hundreds) of billions sensors or devices will be connected to the Net. For elasticity, scalability and efficiency, some operators try to use cloud resources to collect data from IoT devices and analyze such data on the net. On the other hand, protecting privacy is an issue for using cloud resources. We focus on the technology of using cloud resources for collecting and analyzing IoT data. We propose "m-cloud", a distributed computing mechanism with multiple cloud resources. The mechanism enables us to collect data from IoT sensors and devices and calculate some basic statistic result while we reduce the risk of revealing privacy information from such cloud environment.
