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 ...

The complexity of Internet of Things (IoT) systems requires designers, operators, and users to understand both the structure and semantics embedded in the IoT architecture. A semantic IoT ontology must support a full understanding of system flows, services, and qualities (FSQ). In our research, we will discuss how sematic ontologies are currently utilized in IoT systems and how they could be ex...

Internet of Things (IoT) promise to bring ease of monitoring, better efficiency and innovative services across many domains with connected devices around us. With information from critical parts of infrastructure and powerful cloud based data analytics, many applications can be developed to gain insights about IoT systems as well as transform their capabilities. Actuation applications form an e...

The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) [9] is a concept first introduced by Dan Kara at ABI Research, which talks about augmenting the existing IoT with active sensorization; thereby, opening the doors to novel business ideas, at the intersection of both IoT and Robotics. This position paper considers the synergy between IoT and robotics: it talks about the technologies in IoT that would benefit...

......The emergence of ultra-lowpower sensing devices along with connectivity to gateways and cloud services has led to an end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) architecture for many realworld usages. Visual IoT is one such class of IoT that poses significant end-toend challenges due to the need for sensing and processing of visual data. The richness of visual data provides many opportunities for...

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as an attractive paradigm, a typical IoT architecture that U2IoT (Unit IoT and Ubiquitous IoT) model has been presented for the future IoT. Based on the U2IoT model, this paper proposes a cyber-physical-social based security architecture (IPM) to deal with Information, Physical, and Management security perspectives, and presents how the architectural ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has increased its footprint becoming globally a ’must have’ for today’s most innovative companies. Applications extend to multitude of domains, such as smart cities, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, etc. Gartner Group estimates an increase up to 21 billion connected things by 2020. To manage ’things’ heterogeneity and data streams over large scale and secured d...

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which have different characteristics in mobility and communication patterns from traditional mobile devices such as cellular phones, have come into existence as a new type of mobile devices. A strict mobility management scheme for providing highly mobile devices with seamless access is over-engineered for IoT devices’ mobility management. We revisit current mob...

The increasing popularity of specialized Internetconnected devices and appliances, dubbed the Internet-of-Things (IoT), promises both new conveniences and new privacy concerns. Unlike traditional web browsers, many IoT devices have always-on sensors that constantly monitor fine-grained details of users’ physical environments and influence the devices’ network communications. Passive network obs...
