Speech Title:  Improving the Quality of Service in IoT by Software-Defined Networking

Abstract:: This talk deals with one of the most important challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT) applications – ensuring a high level of Quality of Service (QoS) for the users. The variety of IoT applications makes use of the newest achievements in modern computer science including 5G networks, Artificial Intelligence (AI), distributed and Cloud computing, etc. We describe our recent research on the methods and tools for developing modern IoT applications with a guaranteed level of QoS. Our special focus is on using the emerging technology of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for challenging classes of IoT applications including online games, alarm systems, etc. We report experimental results that confirm the advantages of our approach compared to the state of the art.
