While the Internet of Things is breaking into the market, the controlled access to constrained resources still remains a blocking concern. Unfortunately, conventional solutions already accepted for both web and cloud applications cannot be directly used in this context. In fact, they generally require high computational and bandwidth capabilities (that are impossible to reach with constrained devices)...
Emergency situations, such as fire incidents or terrorist attacks, have imposed strongest safety requirements for crowds gathering. The enhancement of situation awareness, decision support and emergency notification systems that facilitate the safety and effectiveness of evacuation processes in a major incident is therefore of utmost importance. ICT, IoT and smart systems have gained much attention...
The idea of the Internet of Things, which emerged in recent years, became one of the main fields of interest in industrial and academic research. The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is one of the technologies aspiring to a standard in the IoT world. CoAP was designed to provide a low-overhead, machine-to-machine communication for constrained devices in a way similar to HTTP. In this paper...
LWM2M is an emerging Open Mobile Alliance standard that defines a fast deployable client-server specification to provide various machine to machine services. It provides both efficient device management as well as security workflow for Internet of Things applications, making it especially suitable for use in constrained networks. However, most of the ongoing research activities on this topic focus...
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) paradigm is one of the main concern of Internet of Things (IoT). Its scope is to interconnect billions of heterogeneous devices able to interact in various application domains. Since M2M suffers from a high vertical fragmentation of current M2M markets and lacks of standards, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) released a set of specifications for a...
This paper presents the SUNRISE GATE, namely the interface through which users can run their experiments, accessing in a unified way the heterogeneous resources offered by the testbeds of the SUNRISE federation (http://fp7-sunrise.eu).
Building automation is concerned with monitoring and control of building services equipment. Over the last years, many different control network protocols have materialized for this task. Ideally, an all-in-one solution would be desired which allows total control of all conceivable scenarios. Even despite the long timespan of development, no single specific protocol has yet emerged that covers all...
As open standards for the Internet of Things gain traction, the current Intranet of Things will evolve to a truly open Internet of Things, where constrained devices are first class citizens of the public Internet. However, the large amount of control over constrained networks offered by today's vertically integrated platforms, becomes even more important in an open IoT considering its promise of direct...
Vertical approach still largely dominates smart devices systems. Even in IoT, proprietary protocols and backend systems are still common. The presented solution aims at harmonizing different standards and architectures, improving sustainability and security. It also allows to use a IaaS approach to further enhance the sensor networks business model.
The Internet of Things is a paradigm of the interconnection of heterogeneous equipment, will be part of the future of the Internet. Wireless sensor networks is a major component of the Internet of Things. Large-scale heterogeneous network integration and management is one of the major challenges of the Internet of Things. This requires building automation or intelligent network management system to...
