To this end, SDG-Pro, enables expressing application's provisioning, governance and business logic programmatically, in a uniform manner.
One can almost say that information technology has become construed as the default technology for solving a whole raft of technical and social problems such as health provision, security, governance, etc.
36 39 This additional managerial responsibility encourages clinicians to value systems that make the provision of governance data easier.
The SDG-Pro framework also aims at better utilization of the edge infrastructure, but we focus on providing a systematic approach, supporting application developers to address most of the infrastructure provisioning and governance issues programmatically, in a logically centralized fashion, by offering the software-defined gateways and well-defined provisioning and governance APIs.
First, it creates an instance of LXC and installs the provisioning and governance agents in the container.
We have shown how SDG-Pro provides API encapsulation of the most important aspects related to gateway provisioning and governance.
– Due to dynamicity, heterogeneity and geographical distribution of IoT cloud, traditional provisioning and governance approaches are hardly feasible in practice.
In the background the framework creates a Linux container and installs the provisioning and governance agents on it (more details about this process are given in Section 5).
As the last part of gateway instantiation, SDG-Pro installs its provisioning and governance agents that support execution of the subsequent phases.
Generally, they are hosted atop IoT cloud and enriched with functional, provisioning and governance capabilities, which are exposed via well-defined APIs.
