“…It has proposed a technique that allows it to automatically connect sensors to an IoT solution using Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) [221] and Sensor Markup Languages (SensorML) [133]. UPnP FRAMEWORK [206] is strongly related to a vision of the IoT where machine-to-machine communication play a significant role. This approach is applicable to devices such as cameras, web cams, and microwaves; but, not for low end temperature or humidity sensors.…”

As we are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of sensors deployed around the world is growing at a rapid pace. Market research has shown a significant growth of sensor deployments over the past decade and has predicted a significant increment of the growth rate in the future. These sensors continuously generate enormous amounts of data. However, in order to add value to raw sensor data we need to understand it. Collection, modelling, reasoning, and distribution of context in relation to sensor data plays critical role in this challenge. Context-aware computing has proven to be successful in understanding sensor data. In this paper, we survey context awareness from an IoT perspective. We present the necessary background by introducing the IoT paradigm and context-aware fundamentals at the beginning. Then we provide an in-depth analysis of context life cycle. We evaluate a subset of projects (50) which represent the majority of research and commercial solutions proposed in the field of context-aware computing conducted over the last decade (2001-2011) based on our own taxonomy. Finally, based on our evaluation, we highlight the lessons to be learnt from the past and some possible directions for future research. The survey addresses a broad range of techniques, methods, models, functionalities, systems, applications, and middleware solutions related to context awareness and IoT. Our goal is not only to analyse, compare and consolidate past research work but also to appreciate their findings and discuss their applicability towards the IoT.Comment: IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials Journal, 201

The next wave of communication and applications rely on the new services provided by Internet of Things which is becoming an important aspect in human and machines future. The IoT services are a key solution for providing smart environments in homes, buildings and cities. In the era of a massive number of connected things and objects with a high grow rate, several challenges have been raised such as management, aggregation and storage for big produced data. In order to tackle some of these issues, cloud computing emerged to IoT as Cloud of Things (CoT) which provides virtually unlimited cloud services to enhance the large scale IoT platforms. There are several factors to be considered in design and implementation of a CoT platform. One of the most important and challenging problems is the heterogeneity of different objects. This problem can be addressed by deploying suitable "Middleware". Indeed, Middleware sits between things and applications that make a reliable platform for communication among things with different interfaces, operating systems, and architectures. The main aim of this paper is to study the middleware technologies for CoT. Toward this end, we first present the main features and characteristics of middlewares. Next we study different architecture styles and service domains. Then we presents several middlewares that are suitable for CoT based platforms and lastly a list of current challenges and issues in design of CoT based middlewares is discussed.

“…In an HNW, an actuator is used to access a network. It will be attached to each of a variety of devices in the home: not only audio systems, air conditioners, illumination lamps, home appliances, sensors, and robots, but also doors, windows, curtains, and water faucets [1]- [5]. An HNW integrates the functions of these devices to provide convenient and easy-to-use services.…”

Recently, there have been extensive studies on home networks, mainly undertaken by the home appliance industry. Service programs and device control programs of current home network systems are dependent on vendors and devices. In this study, we virtualize each home network device so that it can be considered to contain a number of logical devices, and propose a new software configuration based on this virtualization concept. Programs are written using logical interfaces, which define what types of information are exchanged. The proposed software configuration makes programs independent of vendors or physical devices. We have developed a prototype home network system and home network service programs, and confirmed the effectiveness of the new software configuration.
