This paper discusses the challenges in searching imposed by the burgeoning field of Internet of Things (IoT). It first overviews the evolution of the new field to its predecessors: searching in the mobile computing, ubiquitous computing and information retrieve. Then, it identifies four research thrusts: architecture design, search locality, real-time and scalability. It also sketches several presumptive...
In line with the popularity of Internet and the development of search engine, users request information through Web-based services. Although general purpose searching such as one provided by Google is powerful, searching mechanism for specific purposes could rely on metadata. We followed SCORM and CORDRA specifications to develop a registry system, called the MINE Registry, for storing and sharing...
