A Programming Model For Internetworked Things, Hao Jiang

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a system paradigm that encompasses a wide spectrum of technologies and protocols related to Internetworking, services computing, and device connectivity. The main objective is to achieve an environment whereby physical devices and everyday objects can communicate and interact with each other over the Internet. The Internet of Things is heralded as the next generation Internet, and introduces significant opportunities for novel applications in many different domains. What is missing right now is a programming model whereby developers as well as end-users can specify any addressable resource at a higher level of abstraction, and …

Virtual Sensor Middleware: A Middleware For Managing Iot Data For The Fog-Cloud Platform, Fadi Almahamid

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Internet of Things is a massively growing field where billions of devices are connected to the Internet using different protocols and produce an enormous amount of data. The produced data is consumed and processed by different applications to make operations more efficient. Application development is challenging, especially when applications access sensor data since IoT devices use different communication protocols.

The existing IoT architectures address some of these challenges. This thesis proposes an IoT Middleware that provides applications with the abstraction required of IoT devices while distributing the processing of sensor data to provide a real-time or near real-time response and …
