Logical IoT Cloud - Integrated Systems Management for Cloud and IoT

Cloud has been adopted for many production systems and becomes a common IT infrastructure for production systems. IoT applications provide services based on sensors and actuators that are interconnected between cyber and physical spaces. The integrated systems management for Cloud and IoT is required to manage IoT resources as well as CPU, Memory, Storage, and Network. Systems management for IoT resources needs to support the same level as ordinary cloud resources. This paper proposes the integrated systems management for Cloud and IoT called Logical IoT Cloud (LIC). LIC enables Logical Sensors (LSs) with multiple virtual sensors and Logical Actuators (LAs) with multiple virtual actuators. They can act as the same functions as physical sensors and actuators in cloud-native environments. LIC can support multiple IoT applications that require receiving sensor data and sending physical actuators the control commands for production usage.
