An efficient placement of sinks and SDN controller nodes for optimizing the design cost of industrial IoT systems

Summary Recently, a growing trend has emerged toward using Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of industrial systems, which is referred to as industrial IoT. To deal with the time‐critical requirements of industrial applications, it is necessary to consider reliability and timeliness during the design of an industrial IoT system. Through the separation of the control plane and the data plane, software‐defined networking provides control...
