BlockAM: An Adaptive Middleware for Intelligent Data Storage Selection for Internet of Things
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Current Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures, with its massive data requirements, rely on cloud storage: however, usage of a single cloud storage can place limitations on the IoT applications in terms of service requirements (performance, availability, security etc.). Multi-cloud storage architecture has been emerged as a promising infrastructure to solve this problem, but this approach has limited impact due to the lack of differentiation between competing cloud solutions. Multiple decentralized storage solutions (e.g., based on blockchains) are entering the market with distinct characteristics in terms of architecture, performance, security and availability and at a lower price compared to cloud storage. In this work, we introduce BlockAM: an adaptive middleware for the intelligent selection of storage technology for IoT applications, which jointly considers the cloud, multi-cloud and decentralized storage technologies to store large-scale IoT data. We model the cost-minimization storage selection problem and propose two heuristic algorithms: Dynamic Programming (DP) based algorithm and Greedy Style (GS) algorithm, for optimizing the choice of data storage based on IoT application's service requirements. We also employ blockchain to store IoT data on-chain in order to provide data integrity, auditability and accountability to the middleware architecture. Comparisons among the heuristic algorithms are conducted through extensive experiments, which demonstrates that DP heuristic and GS heuristic achieve up to 92% and 80% accuracy respectively. Moreover, the price associated with a specific IoT application data storage decrease by up to 31.2% by employing our middleware solution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
