Introduction
My area of work mainly focuses Internet of Things (IoT), encompassing cloud computing and fog/edge computing. I have mostly worked on issues (such as resource management, task offloading, energy management, load balancing, service scalability) associated with middleware technologies (such as fog/edge, femto-cloud, cloud broker, mobile device cloud) for various applications in smart cities, smart healthcare, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), Internet of Drones (IoD), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Industry 4.0, and Tactile Internet. My work also encompasses machine learning and artificial intelligence-based techniques for task offloading and smart healthcare.
