Internet of Things (IoT) enables devices such as wireless sensors and actuators to be connected and to communicate with each other, with little or no human intervention. According to conservative estimates, the tally of these connected devices will reach the staggering number of 20 billion in 2020. Potential applications and services are numerous. However provisioning these applications and services is quite challenging. Sound and innovative architectures are required. The challenges include cost efficiency, Quality of Experience (QoE), and agility. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, fog computing, network function virtualization (NFV), and Software Defined Network (SDN) can help in tackling them. This proposed research is a continuation of the work I have done the last 6 years with my discovery grant which was complemented by two CISCO collaborative research initiatives grants I was awarded the last 2 years. It aims at cost efficient and agile applications and services provisioning architectures which deliver high Quality of Experience (QoE) to end-users. We aim at full-fledged and fully integrated solutions to applications and services provisioning in IoT. These solutions will integrate cloud architectures for cost efficiency, fog architectures for QoE and NFV/SDN architectures for agility. For each one of the architectures we will research components, interfaces and accompanying algorithms. We will propose architectures which focus on sensing and architectures which focus on actuation, then use them as the pillars of the full-fledged IoT solutions. According to IDC forecasts, the Canadian Internet of Things (IoT) market will be worth more than $6.5 billion by 2018 and will continue growing at a vigorous pace the following years. This proposed research will contribute to the growth. *****

物联网（物联网）使无线传感器和执行器等设备可以连接并相互通信，而几乎没有人类干预。根据保守的估计，这些连接的设备的计数将在2020年达到惊人的200亿个。潜在的应用和服务很多。但是，对这些应用程序和服务进行配置非常具有挑战性。需要声音和创新架构。挑战包括成本效率，经验质量（QOE）和敏捷性。诸如云计算，雾计算，网络功能虚拟化（NFV）和软件定义网络（SDN）之类的新兴技术可以帮助解决它们。这项拟议的研究是我过去6年中完成的工作的延续，这是我的Discovery Grant所做的，这是由Cisco合作研究计划的两项补充，在过去的两年中，我被授予了我的授予。它的目的是为了提供高质量的经验（QOE），旨在为最终用户提供高质量的经验（QOE）。我们的目标是针对物联网中的应用和服务提供全面的解决方案。这些解决方案将集成云体系结构，以提高成本效率，QOE的雾体架构和敏捷性的NFV/SDN体系结构。对于每个架构，我们将研究组件，界面和随附算法。 我们将提出专注于感知和架构的体系结构，这些结构专注于致动，然后将它们用作成熟的物联网解决方案的支柱。 根据IDC的预测，到2018年，加拿大物联网（IoT）市场的价值将超过65亿加元，并将在接下来的几年中继续增长。这项拟议的研究将有助于增长。 *****
