Issues and Challenges
Social and Urban Computing @ KFU
Challenges
IoT-zation, turn to smart
Interconnections, Network
Identify and categorize things
Management (things and data)
Issues
Not smart/ Internet enabled devices (e.g. sensors and actuators),
Not smart objects and things

IoT-zation
Add network interface to existing “things”
Arduino
Standard interface
Highly programmable and configurable
Intel Galileo
Samsung Artik
Nanode, Pinguino, Teense, …
Raspberry
…

Networking
Heterogeneous nodes-things
Communication protocols and mechanisms
Unmanned Machine-to-Machine interaction (M2M)
CoAP: a light HTTP protocol
MQTT: a PubSub system
AllJoyn: “discovery” of resources and services
Distributed -> No Control
Best effort -> No Guarantees
Social and Urban Computing @ KFU

Identify Things
What is a thing?
Need of a common knowledge base, semantics, ontologies
Sensor and actuator types and metrics
OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE), Sensor Model Language (SML), (W3C) Semantic Sensor Network (SSN)
Semantic Web
XML, Resource Description Framework RDL, OWL,
Dynamic semantics
Web of Things
Social and Urban Computing @ KFU

Wide-scale – billions of things
Huge amount of data (Zettabytes 2^70-10^21)
Solutions
Distributed, Autonomic, self-organizing
IoT-Cloud convergence: ubiquitous
Technological -> Cloud support IoT - SaaS
Methodological -> adopt the Cloud-service oriented paradigm to the provisioning of things Cloud of things, Things as a Service - IaaS
Software defined and virtualized ecosystems
SD things, SD cities, SDIoT
Management

IoE
Social and Urban Computing @ KFU

Aims at extending Cloud to the edge of an enterprise's network
Facilitates the end devices-Cloud compute, storage and networking interactions
Consists of a control plane and a data plane
Emphasizes proximity to end-users and client objectives, dense geographical distribution and local resource pooling, quality of service (QoS) and edge analytics/stream mining
