Abstract

In cloud–fog environments, the opportunity to avoid using the upstream communication channel from the clients to the cloud server all the time is possible by fluctuating the conventional concurrency control protocols. Through the present paper, the researcher aimed to introduce a new variant of the optimistic concurrency control protocol. Through the deployment of augmented partial validation protocol, IoT transactions that are read-only can be processed at the fog node locally. For final validation, update transactions are the only ones sent to the cloud. Moreover, the update transactions go through partial validation at the fog node which makes them more opportunist to commit at the cloud. This protocol reduces communication and computation at the cloud as much as possible while supporting scalability of the transactional services needed by the applications running in such environments. Based on numerical studies, the researcher assessed the partial validation procedure under three concurrency protocols. The study’s results indicate that employing the proposed mechanism shall generate benefits for IoT users. These benefits are obtained from transactional services. We evaluated the effect of deployment the partial validation at the fog node for the three concurrency protocols, namely AOCCRBSC, AOCCRB and STUBcast. We performed a set of intensive experiments to compare the three protocols with and without such deployment. The result reported a reduction in miss rate, restart rate and communication delay in all of them. The researcher found that the proposed mechanism reduces the communication delay significantly. They found that the proposed mechanism shall enable low-latency fog computing services of the IoT applications that are a delay sensitive.
