In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) become a promising topic of technical social and economic significance, especially with the high number of developed sensors and technologies. Logistic applications are a perfect domain of IoT as it adds new functionalities in identification, traceability, storage and real time tracking of good in the supply chain. Handling the huge quantities of heterogeneous IoT components and logistic items is an important challenge. We present in this paper a new Internet of Things middleware architecture for logistic transport applications. This architecture focuses mainly on a semantic model that uses ontologies for sensor data representation by describing the main entities involved in the logistic scenario.
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.
