**Fonction **:Doctorant

**A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle**:
The Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique Centre is one of Inria's eight centres and has more than thirty research teams. The Inria Center is a major and recognized player in the field of digital sciences. It is at the heart of a rich R&D and innovation ecosystem: highly innovative PMEs, large industrial groups, competitiveness clusters, research and higher education players, laboratories of excellence, technological research institute, etc.

**Mission confiée**:
Cloud computing and its three facets (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) have become essential in today Internet Applications, offering many advantages such as scalability, elasticity or flexibility. With its different service models, the cloud still faces many issues prone to impact either the end-user (QoS), the provider (Cost) and the environment (Sustainability).

However, evaluating realistic large-scale fog infrastructure constitute a complex task given the cost of deployment and the absence of a realistic view of the real-world deployments. In an IoT context, geo-distributed fog infrastructures mostly rely on SDN approaches [5] that contribute to conceal the networking aspects such as the topology or the routing decisions[8]. In consequence, it appears that the impact of the elasticity of a fog solution is mainly evaluated on the data plane side [4].

The objective of this thesis is to study the optimization of resource placement in Fog-based IoT systems based on latency measurement, by evaluating the control plane cost of a change in the architecture. It will particularly address the problem of how to identify the origin of a latency issue, and based on this finding, propose an optimization that take into account the cost and elasticity of the control plane.
