Realizing the internet of things in service-centric environments

Abstract

"Internet of things" is a seminal vision of future technological ubiquity. It endows everyday objects with the ability to identify themselves, communicate with other objects, and possibly compute. While Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies have laid the foundation, the development of Service-Oriented Computing poses new opportunities for fully realizing the vision. The research proposal in- troduced in this paper proposes a methodology to realize the Internet of things in the service-centric environments. Major research challenges targeted by this methodology and possible solutions have been discussed.
