If we look at the Internet of Things (IoT) from a viewpoint that comprises higher levels of abstraction, we will see that the IoT generated data can actually be transformed into more complex information, which would in turn facilitate the lives of human users. Because sensors have different purposes and measure different phenomena, it is necessary to know them and their different areas and doma...

The Internet of Things (IoT) allows collecting vast amounts of health-relevant data such as daily activity, body weight (BW), and blood pressure (BP) automatically. The use of IoT devices to monitor diabetic patients has been studied, but could not evaluate IoT-dependent effects because health data were not measured in control groups. This multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel group stu...

Application development in the Internet of Things (IoT) is challenging because it involves dealing with a wide range of related issues such as lack of separation of concerns in multiple layers and lack of high-level abstractions to address both the large scale and heterogeneity. Moreover, stakeholders involved in the application development have to address issues spanning to multiple life-cycle...

This paper proposes an open healthcare platform structure design and suggests an authenticated registration process that links to a mobile device to enable convenient registration and sharing of diverse types of medical devices and services. Furthermore, in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed registration method, the paper introduces and implements a health IoT-based mobile applic...

Semantics for the IoT domain have been already introduced in several semantic interoperability approaches, towards supporting the (semi-)automated deployment of generic IoT applications in environments where heterogeneous third-party IoT devices are deployed. Depending on the level of interoperability, an application may have to ‘decide’ which IoT devices in that environment are trustworthy for...

The sensor networking field is evolving into the Internet of Things (IoT), owing in large part to the increased availability of consumer sensing devices, including modern smart phones. However, application development in the IoT still remains challenging, since it involves dealing with several related issues, such as lack of proper identification of roles of various stakeholders, as well as lac...

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an environment of ubiquitous sensing and actuation from devices connected to the web backend. IoT applications leverage contextual information about entities in the system for reasoning and actuation. These context-aware applications are difficult to scale to the large amount of heterogeneous data in the IoT, as the current state-of-the-art is black-box, m...

The Internet of Things (IoT) idea, explored across the globe, brings about an important issue: how to achieve interoperability among multiple existing (and constantly created) IoT platforms. In this context, in January 2016, the European Commission has funded seven projects that are to deal with various aspects of interoperability in the Internet of Things. Among them, the INTERIoT project is a...

Key core technologies of IOT (internet of things) have to be addressed to achieve rapid development. This paper focused on studying RFID, wireless sensor network (WSN) and TCCP which were integrated to address the IOT application problems. Meanwhile, an IOT architectural model was established and the IOT applications in real-time medical monitoring, intelligent transportation system (ITS), inte...
