Enhancing service availability and resource deployment in IoT using a shared service replication method.

In many real-world contexts, the Internet of Things (IoT) is valued for its capacity to facilitate the smooth operation of interoperable applications and services. It is critical to ensure the accessibility and replication of IoT resources to improve the agility of these applications. As a solution, the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is embedded into the IoT design to leverage information from various endpoint applications better and maximize resource utilization.
