Abstract Nowadays, many communities are emerging towards smart environments, requiring the communication and collaboration of diverse Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. A smart environment exploits the use of IoT technology to share and process data among such devices for a better living. However, this comes with additional costs, such as the exponential growth of IoT devices, the heterogeneity of IoT use cases, and the new complex features encountered by IoT data, which complicate their processing and analysis using the traditional techniques. This causes a dramatic performance degradation of the used processing resources, which directly affects the overall efficiency and performance of IoT-based systems. Although different studies have presented resource utilization approaches for IoT systems, but they were not evaluated from different resource utilization perspectives. Besides, no efforts have been directed to investigate their effectiveness to process the unprecedented IoT data features that inevitably impact the accuracy and efficiency of resource utilization. In this paper, the Triple Phases Resource Utilized Data Fusion (TPRUDF) framework is proposed as the first IoT-based cost-aware resource utilization using data fusion. It exclusively considers different IoT data features by employing three phases of data fusion: (1) data in – data out, (2) data in – feature out, and (3) feature in – decision out. TPRUDF fuses the raw IoT data by maintaining the complex IoT data features, independent of the IoT domain or the computing model, using the spatiotemporal data fusion (STDF) IoT-based data fusion approach. TPRUDF then fuses the uncorrelated data features via the Principal Component Analysis. Finally, it employs two different resource utilization techniques: (1) Genetic Algorithms and (2) Particle Swarm Optimization, fusing their results using the voting logic fusion technique. A public edge-computing simulator is used to evaluate TPRUDF via three real-world smart cities datasets. The experimental results of the proposed TPRUDF framework indicate that it: (1) achieves an average accuracy level of resource utilization equal to 91%, (2) increases the resource utilization throughput by an average of 40% and eventually minimizes the processing delay, (3) boosts the resource utilization availability by 60%, and (4) decreases the energy consumption by 35%. © 2022
