Application of Information Centric Networking to NoSQL Databases: the Spatio-Temporal use case

TL;DR

This paper investigates how Information Centric Networking (ICN) can enhance NoSQL distributed databases, focusing on a spatio-temporal database prototype called OpenGeoBase, to improve development, performance, and data access control in IoT and Big Data contexts.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach integrating ICN with NoSQL databases, specifically designing and evaluating a spatio-temporal database for IoT applications.

Findings

OpenGeoBase demonstrates improved performance with real data.

ICN simplifies database development and enhances data access control.

The approach is suitable for IoT and Big Data applications.

Abstract

This paper explores methodologies, advantages and challenges related to the use of the Information Centric Network technology for developing NoSQL distributed databases, which are expected to play a central role in the forthcoming IoT and BigData era. ICN services make possible to simplify the development of the database software, improve performance, and provide data-level access control. We use our findings for devising a NoSQL spatio-temporal database, named OpenGeoBase, and evaluate its performance with a real data set related to Intelligent Transport System applications.
