Abstract
Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a system in which communication between the physical devices and the cyber environment runs independently without any user interaction. Several optimization algorithms have been used for determining the optimal solutions that can reduce the production cost and/or enhance the production efficiency with in limited time-periods. However, existing optimization approaches have failed to solve the issues in the complex manufacturing process. To overcome this issue, a novel technique called directed acyclic graph theory based multiobjective oppositional learnt artificial ant colony resource optimization (DAGT-MOLAACRO) technique has been introduced in this study for solving the complex manufacturing process in the industry. Initially, IoT devices are used in the industrial sector for sensing and collecting data. Then the collected data is sent to the cyberspace of the CPS system with the least latency. Then, the CPS system collects the data generated from the industrial IoT devices that is stored in cyberspace with lesser memory consumption. MOLAACRO is applied to find the optimal solution among the population that satisfies the resource constraints by constructing the directed acyclic graph. In this way, the DAGT-MOLAACRO technique reduces the time complexity with minimal latency and computation overhead. For verification purposes, our experimental work has been carried out using different performance metrics such as data latency, time complexity, and computation overhead with respect to the number of IoT devices and the amount of data collected. The results show that the DAGT-MOLAACRO technique has better performance with reductions in terms of time complexity by 10%, latency by 17%, and the computation overhead by 11% against the existing works in literature.
