A Data Replica Placement Scheme for Cloud Storage under Healthcare IoT Environment

Abstract:

In this paper, a multiple data replica placement scheme for cloud storage under health-care environment is proposed. It is based on p-center model with minimizing user access cost as its optimization objective. It uses GA (Genetic Algorithm) to find the optimal data replica placement solution. Simulation results have shown that it can not only improve user access time and promote load balance but also enhance system scalability and reliability.
