In this paper, we present an innovative software architecture that brings dynamics to the world of interconnected small devices and sensors by mixing cloud services, semantics and border router technologies. Dynamic aspects can be enabled both in the way that the devices are deployed or managed as well as in the manner in which the data can be combined or interpreted to form additional services. We got inspired from the architecture of mediators and wrappers in databases and services systems and adapt them to the IoT world. We illustrate our purposes with a use case scenario that involves different actors from the energy and smart cities domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
