COG: Overlay network functions assisting connected next generation society systems

Quality of experience that is perceived by customers directly affects reputation web service providers. Major web service providers locate intermediate computing resources between their contents servers and customers that assist quality enhancements of their service for their customers. For services using Internet of Things (IoT), there are strong interests in controlling intelligent IoT devices, especially robotics devices, through network. However, network status affects the quality of this remote control service. We propose network assisting functions and supporting architecture for such services. In our proposal, we spin off parts of IoT devices or server functions from their chassis and locate them on network located computing resources as software-based functions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal using a remote controlled robotics service.
