Elastic Composition of Crowdsourced IoT Energy Services

Abstract: We propose a novel type of service composition, called elastic composition which provides a reliable framework in a highly fluctuating IoT energy provisioning settings. We rely on crowdsourcing IoT energy (e.g., wearables) to provide wireless energy to nearby devices. We introduce the concepts of soft deadline and hard deadline as key criteria to cater for an elastic composition framework. We conduct a set of experiments on real-world datasets to assess the efficiency of the proposed approach.
