论文摘要
新颖的物联网（IoT）要求从异质设备的更广泛的互连中得出的要求推动了云计算的视野，并引起了应用程序和数据中心的更广泛的分散化。对基础网络问题的答案，例如需要降低由于繁重的计算需求或安全方面而产生的延迟，这引起了边缘/雾计算，在此过程中，物联网功能也可以得到更接近数据源的支持。尽管今天可以在边缘执行一些物联网功能是可行的，但是边缘和云之间的操作编排需要自动支持，在这种支持中，上下文意识在协助网络决定何时和何时何处和计算计算方面起着关键作用。这项工作的重点是应用上下文意识的应用，以支持边缘对云操作的更平稳操作，旨在降低潜伏期，特别是在存在实时或接近实时的数据交换时。
Novel Internet of Things (IoT) requirements derived from a broader interconnection of heterogeneous devices have pushed the horizons of Cloud computing and are giving rise to a wider decentralisation of applications and data centers. An answer to the underlying network concerns, such as the need to lower the resulting latency due to heavy computation needs,or safety aspects, gave rise to Edge/Fog computing, where IoT functionality can be also supported closer to data sources. While it is today feasible to perform some IoT functionality on the Edge, the orchestration of operations between Edge and Cloud requires an automated support, where context-awareness plays a key role in assisting the network in deciding when and whereto store data and to perform computation. This work is focused on the application of context-awareness to support a smoother operation of the Edge to Cloud operation, aiming at lowering latency, in particular when real-time or close-to-real-time data exchange is present.
