Sensor virtualization aims to achieve more _________________________ in providing sensor based services a. Complexity b. Flexibility

n a typical sensor cloud architecture with virtualization, one virtual sensor can be associated with how many physical sensors? a. Only one b. One or more than one c. None d. Only two

In a typical sensor cloud architecture, the sensor cloud infrastructure that provides the virtualization lies ______________________________ a. At the same layer as physical sensor devices b. At the application layer c. In between the physical sensor layer and the application layer d. Sensor cloud does not support virtualization

Thevirtualization principle involves creating a digitalreplica of the business and industrial operations bymerging sensor data collected from the physical equip-ment, assets, and processes across the value network[37]. Virtualization allows engineers and system analyststo structure, redesign, and optimize Industry 5.0 mod-ules and components in complete isolation, thus, alle-viating the risk of physical system design inefficiencyand failure [23]. The digital replica of industrial opera-tions further allows experts and managers to seamlesslyoversee the complexity of business operations andmonitor the efficiency and performance of machinery,equipment, processes, logistics infrastructure, and pro-duction facilities without disrupting their physicalinstances [6]. The virtualization principle is crucial tothe productivity, profitability, and sustainability of busi-ness activities under the Industry 5.0 paradigm.
