The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to extending the reach of the Internet into the physical world. The realization of IoT applications involves the integrated operation of many subsystems that retain their private function. This makes IoT application deployment and integration a Systems of Systems (SoS) problem. In this paper we collect SoS properties and characteristics from the literature in...

Pervasive connectivity in machine to machine communication as well as advancements in sensor and actuator technology has given rise to the Internet of Things (IoT). For companies such as Siemens, the IoT concept plays a tremendous role for their ongoing evolution towards full digitalization, since possible applications range from smarter cities and eHealth systems, to Industry 4.0 [1]. Another ...

Internet of Things (IoT) allows daily objects, with computing and communication capabilities, to connect to the Internet. In this scenario, an application called GREatRoom runs in an IoT environment, which has distributed wireless labels in places and objects, to detect the presence of nearby users, providing services intuitively and efficiently. Considering that IoT systems have quality charac...

An effective architecture for the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly for an emerging nation like India with limited technology penetration at the national scale, should be based on tangible technology advances in the present, practical application scenarios of social and entrepreneurial value, and ubiquitous capabilities that make the realization of IoT affordable and sustainable. Humans, d...

We introduce current home Internet of Things (IoT) technology and present research on its various forms and applications in real life. In addition, we describe IoT marketing strategies as well as specific modeling techniques for improving air quality, a key home IoT service. To this end, we summarize the latest research on sensor-based home IoT, studies on indoor air quality, and technical stud...

Applications based on the Internet of Things (IoT) are increasingly vulnerable to disruption from cyber attacks. Developers and researchers attempt to prevent the growth of such disruption models, mitigate and limit their impact. This requires the understanding and characterization of things and the technologies that empower the IoT. Futhermore, tools to evaluate, analyze and detect security th...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology paradigm where millions of sensors and actuators help monitor and manage, physical, environmental and human systems in real-time. The inherent closedloop responsiveness and decision making of IoT applications make them ideal candidates for using low latency and scalable stream processing platforms. Distributed Stream Processing Systems (DSP...

Internet of Things (IoT) applications and systems pervade our life increasingly and assuring their quality is of paramount importance. Unfortunately, few proposals for testing these complex — and often safety-critical — systems are present in the literature and testers are left alone to build their test cases. This paper is a first step towards acceptance testing of an IoT system that relies on...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has encouraged the development of innovative applications and services that make use of the enormous amount and diversity of data provided by such things to provide novel and useful services. However, to be successful, these platforms have to meet the expectations of different stakeholders, namely application developers and end-users. In this work we analyze some pr...
