An Overview of the IoT Coordination Challenge

Abstract

The Internet of Thing has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in IT. It interconnects and integrates large numbers of digital and physical entities by capability of appropriate information and communication technologies, to enable building enormous useful and unimaginable services and applications. However, building new IoT services or applications is a fastidious task since it is faced to several challenges such as interoperability, context-awareness, discovery, availability, decision-making. In this article, the authors are interested in coordination challenges that are still open despite the efforts of international organizations and scientific research groups. In fact, the authors outline a recent literature review of existing IoT coordination approaches. In the literature, researchers tend to use orchestration or choreography as a way to meet this challenge. A classification and the vision on this topic are presented. The authors propose an approach that is more likely to respond to the co-ordination challenge.

Using Blockchain in the Internet of Things Coordination

“…In a matter of fact, blockchain cannot be used only for purposes namely security, trust, value transfer, but effectively for coordination… Coordination is a complex challenge that is linked to several others. In previous work, we established that to achieve coordination, we must take into account other challenges related to it namely discovery, heterogeneity, availability, context-awareness, decisionmaking [2], and which allows respecting the coordination process identification => data acquisition => data processing => Interpretation => decision-making [14].…”

“…Furthermore, other challenges are unfortunately closely linked to coordination, which makes its achievement more complex. One of the major obstacles facing IoT coordination is the lack of flexible architecture, and that motivates us to propose our vision to build a suitable architecture [2].…”

The Patentability of AI Invention

“…The proliferation of the internet of things (IoT), and the new technology have poses many challenges that should be legally overcome. Although the common challenge that posed by the new technology is the use of users' data which is very crucial for today business operations (Guerbouj, et al, 2019;Meskic et al, 2021;Belkeziz and Jarir, 2020;Krimpmann and Stühmeier, 2017) other challenges have been evolved over the time such as the AI and patent regulation.…”

“…In (Belkeziz & Jarir, 2020), the authors present a literature review of existing approaches to IoT coordination.…”
