“…Considering the IoT from ICN perspective, ICN research group (ICNRG) has involved in the activity of defining requirements and challenges of IoT over the existing ICN proposals [22,23]. Several research efforts [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31] present the ICN framework in different IoT scenarios. In [24], the authors highlight the key challenges of IoT and provide a design of high level NDN architecture that can meet IoT challenges.…”

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol which is intended to be used for constrained networks and devices. CoAP and its extensions (e.g., CoAP observe and group communication) provide the potential for developing novel applications in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). However, a full-fledged CoAP-based application may require significant computing capability, power, and storage capacity in IoT devices. To address these challenges, we present the design, implementation, and experimentation with the CoAP handler which provides transparent CoAP services through the ICN core network. In addition, we demonstrate how the CoAP traffic over an ICN network can unleash the full potential of the CoAP, shifting both overhead and complexity from the (constrained) endpoints to the ICN network. The experiments prove that the CoAP Handler helps to decrease the required computation complexity, communication overhead, and state management of the CoAP server.

“…Similarly, an overlay of ICN architecture based on CCN on top of ETSI M2M architecture is presented in [15]. In [16], authors propose a service platform based on CCN for Smart Cities that can integrate the available relevant wireless technologies to provide ubiquitous services, optimize the usage of communication resources through distributed caching and provide security by exploiting the security feature of CCN architecture. In [17], the authors provide an experimental comparison of CCN with the traditional IP based IoT standards 6LoWPAN/RPL/UDP in terms of energy consumption and memory footprint.…”

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is an HTTP-like protocol for RESTful applications intended to run on constrained devices, typically part of the Internet of Things. CoAP observe is an extension to the CoAP specification that allows CoAP clients to observe a resource through a simple publish/subscribe mechanism. In this paper we leverage Information-Centric Networking (ICN), transparently deployed within the domain of a network provider, to provide enhanced CoAP services. We present the design and the implementation of CoAP observe over ICN and we discuss how ICN can provide benefits to both network providers and CoAP applications, even though the latter are not aware of the existence of ICN. In particular, the use of ICN results in smaller state management and simpler implementation at CoAP endpoints, and less communication overhead in the network.

“…It can be argued that among the major causes of these challenges, the urban population growth is at the forefront [3] [4]. It is expected that future cities will be home of more than 70% of the global population by 2050 [5] [6]. Increase of urban population means that more people will need public services, more cars will be on urban road networks, more parking space will be required, more people will need health services in urban areas, more educational institutions will be on demand, etc.…”

A city is a very complex area with complex governing bodies and a number of decision makers. More often, cities are engines of economic development and are attractive places for people seeking employment and better quality of living [1]. As a consequence, cities are now facing a growing urban population which imposes stresses on urban quality of life and the environment. Among the major challenges faced by cities around the world, urban population growth is at the forefront as it is expected that future cities will be home for more than 70% of the global population by 2050. Other associated challenges include traffic congestion, environmental degradation, security, level of quality of public services, and effective resources management. To ensure sustainable development of cities with such a boom of urbanisation, cities around the world are embracing technology and adopting smart cities concept following the recorded development of information and communication technologies and internet of things. However, the literature [2] shows that the concept of smart cities is not being approached efficiently. A smart city is a system of subsystems and should be approached as a whole as opposed to infusing technology into subsystems one by one. To achieve this, there is a requirement of a standard platform to integrate all the subsystems of a smart city system. This work proposes a holistic model which integrates all the subsystems of a smart city system. The proposed model is based on systems engineering approach and Systems Engineering Modelling Language (SysML) is adapted as a potential modelling language. It is a general purpose visual modelling language for Systems Engineering applications and for complex systems such as smart cities and can handle better complexity and challenges such as documentation, communication, and management.
