In IoT scenario, many incoming tasks emerging from the Internet need to be effectively managed by small networks with energy and computational power constraints. Can this be a research area?
Dear Sourabh Bharti: Thank you for this question! It is indeed difficult to decide if a new field of activity has the possibility of becoming a (scientific) reserach area...It seems to me that such question is connected with other, for example: ¿are there well defined problems to be solved? ¿is there a community of researchers interested in solving these problems and exchanging ideas, experiences and results? ¿has the research community agreed upon what could be considered (and accepted) as "solutions" to these problems? ¿has the research community a form to present, discuss and reach consensus about the validity of the results that are being obtained?....etc..
@Sourabh Bharti I think the area you mentioned is not of the IoT concerned. Most of the times IoT is active in nature, where it provides data that is input to the applications. There maybe cases where IoT 'things' maybe queried as well, but in that case, the resource scheduling mechanisms would take care of that. There is a rich amount of literature already available. So I would suggest you to work on other open problems in IoT. My two cents...
Thanks Rasheed for your answer. But what about the scenario where heavy internet traffic having QoS requirements in the forms of tasks is approaching WSN. How to schedule those tasks efficiently into resource constrained networks such as WSN. Can this be a research area?
