ManIoT: A 2‐tier management platform for heterogeneous IoT devices and applications

Abstract

Summary The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm where devices can interact with each other via an Internet connection. One of the challenges of IoT is the heterogeneity of the devices and applications comprising the network. Each object can have different processing capabilities or employ different communication standards. Further, applications can control different sensors, and each application may have conflicting goals. Thus, IoT systems must employ a context‐aware platform that supports a variety of sensor protocols and is able to cope with many applications and devices at the same time. This paper presents a platform for managing devices and applications on the IoT, called Management for Internet of Things, which operates in local and global levels and considers the perception of context. A 2‐level approach allows the adoption of the platform for Mobile‐Edge Computing use cases, as well for the operation of large scale IoT applications. The evaluation of a prototype shows that Management for Internet of Things supports many applications and devices with a reduced resource usage.

CASA‐IoT: Scalable and context‐aware IoT access control supporting multiple users

“…CASA‐IoT is a generic system that could be implemented into any IoT platform that performs processing on a centralized entity (eg, a gateway). In this work, we instantiated it as a component of the ManIoT architecture . MANIOT integrates heterogeneous IoT devices, providing generic and scalable control.…”

“…Additionally, CASA‐IoT makes use of caching to reduce the cost of obtaining context. Our model was built and added as part of the ManIoT architecture . It has been evaluated in a test bed to show its efficiency.…”

A systematic review of IoT communication strategies for an efficient smart environment

“…Antunes et al [63] propose a context-aware multi-level resource management approach based on mobile edge computing for the heterogeneous IoT applications. The authors have provided a physical methodology for global resource management based on the scalable reaction time perspective and a software methodology for local management based on storage, scheduling and authentication of information management in a context-aware policy management.…”

A Collaborative and Ubiquitous System for Fabricating Dental Parts Using 3D Printing Technologies

“…Antunes et al [45] established a two-tier management platform for Internet of Things applications. The collaborative and ubiquitous additive manufacturing network has a three-tier architecture: mobile user, system (i.e., internet service provider), and 3D-printing facilities.…”
