“…It has been argued in many literature studies [33][34][35] that an IoT application should be semantically modeled in terms of ontologies which define common knowledge base of a particular IoT domain. IoT applications deal with physical devices of heterogeneous nature, so some of the preliminary requirements of IoT application mentioned in the early design of IoT systems are interoperability and support of diverse platforms [36,37]. Therefore, the semantic representation of information is of paramount importance in the IoT domain due to the inherent comfort of interoperability.…”

The internet of things (IoT) has been growing towards the conception of a cyber-physical space in which physical things could be discovered, examined, activated, interlinked, and updated, for the realization of possible interactions in both virtual and physical space. The fundamental idea of IoT is the concept of a virtual object, which is regarded as the digital equivalent of a physical entity. Currently, in every IoT platform, the use of virtual objects has become a vital component. These virtual objects form building blocks of IoT applications, support the discovery of services, nurture the production of complex applications, foster the objects’ energy and power management efficiency, as well as address heterogeneity and scalability issues. Idea sharing and reusing are widesplread, and different solutions are built for this purpose to share applications or their components with similar domains to avoid duplication of efforts. In this paper, we design and implement a cloud-centric IoT application store that serves a purpose for hosting virtual objects of different IoT domains so that technology tinkerers can consume them and integrate them to build IoT applications. The proposed system is different than existing IoT marketplaces in the sense that they provide full-fledged IoT applications which include software and hardware that users can plug and play. The application store is aimed to be decoupled and can expose virtual objects of different IoT domains so that similar areas can use them with little or no modification. Moreover, it is also aimed to be modular, scalable, secure and support heterogeneity, which are considered vital attributes of IoT applications. An IoT testbed client application is developed to reuse some of the virtual objects from the proposed application store and to share specialized virtual objects to the proposed system for the use of other clients applications with similar goals. The performance and load of the platform are tested and found to be within an acceptable response time for up to 40 simultaneous users.

An internet of things (IoT) platform is a multi-layer technology that enables automation of connected devices within IoT. IoT platforms serve as a middle-ware solution and act as supporting software that is able to connect different hardware devices, access points, and networks to other parts of the value chain. Virtual objects have become a vital component in every IoT platform. Virtual objects are the digital representation of a physical entity. In this paper, we design and implement a cloud-centric IoT platform that serves a purpose for registration and initialization of virtual objects so that technology tinkerers can consume them via the IoT marketplace and integrate them to build IoT applications. The proposed IoT platform differs from existing IoT platforms in the sense that they provide hardware and software services on the same platform that users can plug and play. The proposed IoT platform is separate from the IoT marketplace where users can consume virtual objects to build IoT applications. Experiments are conducted for IoT platform and interworking IoT marketplace based on virtual objects in CoT. The proposed IoT platform provides a user-friendly interface and is secure and reliable. An IoT testbed is developed and a case study is performed for a domestic environment to reuse virtual objects on the IoT marketplace. It also provides the discovery and sharing of virtual objects. IoT devices can be monitored and controlled via virtual objects. We have conducted a comparative analysis of the proposed IoT platform with FIWARE. Results conclude that the proposed system performs marginally better than FIWARE.

“…Simulation of serious games is getting popularity in almost every field of life like military, education [5], industry [6], and medical environment [7] to train and facilitate people for specific conditions. IoT promises the interconnectivity of more networking devices, sensors, technology, data-driven applications, and new software, and it could not be achieved without advancement in the field of IoT [8]. IoT is a network of interconnected devices, sensors, and services to operate smart spaces with virtual identification [9].…”

Serious games have recently enticed many researchers due to their wide range of capabilities. A serious game is a mean of gaming for a serious job such as healthcare, education, and entertainment purposes. With the advancement in the Internet of Things, new research directions are paving the way in serious games. However, the internet connectivity of players in Internetof-things-enabled serious games is a matter of concern and has been worth investigating. Different studies on topologies, frameworks, and architecture of communication technologies are conducted to integrate them with serious games on machine and network levels. However, the Internet of things, whose core requirement is the provision of connectivity on the application layer, has different challenges for more dynamic applications such as serious games. The performance of Internet-of-things-enabled serious games depends on the type of infrastructure (wired, wireless) network and Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) and is subtly different from one type of network to another. This paper investigates the connectivity challenges in the Internet-of-thingsenabled serious games using the mentioned infrastructure and identifies the core requirements for these games. It also aims to evaluate various parameters such as reliability, scalability, response time, to name a few, with varying infrastructure and network types. Results highlight the preliminary infrastructure finding and highlight the core setup for which the games are deployed. Moreover, this work will be a steppingstone for architecting the connectivity in serious games in a typical smart space with many infrastructures such as wired networks, wireless networks, and MANET.
