Middleware platforms have been used as underlying infrastructure to ease development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. FIWARE is a platform that has stood out in this scenario as an open, extensible solution for application development, but it supports only devices with native Internet connection. On the other hand, the KNoT platform allows virtualizing physical devices that do not have IP communication with minimal development effort. This paper presents the integration of the two platforms through the development of a component compatible with the FIWARE standard interface, inserted into KNoT aiming at enhancing their use for IoT applications.
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.
