Although the quantity of services and devices regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) is consistently increasing, not many people are aware that software vulnerabilities are also proliferating at an alarming rate along with the spread of IoT. In addition, for people without security backgrounds, defending their devices against these vulnerabilities is also a huge challenge. IoTcube, an automated...

Whereas, traditionally, business processes use the Internet of Things (IoTs) as a distributed source of information, the increase of computational capabilities of IoT devices provides them with the means to also execute parts of the business logic, reducing the amount of exchanged data and central processing. Current approaches based on Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) already support...

Web of Things (WoT) provides abstraction that simplifies the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems. IoT systems are designed to support a number of ubiquitous devices and decision management sub-systems. The devices and sub-systems can be a part of safety critical operations as well as smart management of multiple actuators that control the smart home devices. The devices and sub-systems...

This paper proposes a Smartphone-Assisted Localization Algorithm (SALA) for the localization of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are placed in indoor environments (e.g., smart home, smart office, smart mall, and smart factory). This SALA allows a smartphone to visually display the positions of IoT devices in indoor environments for the easy management of IoT devices, such as remote-control...

This paper highlights three critical aspects of the internet of things (IoTs), namely (1) energy efficiency, (2) energy balancing and (3) quality of service (QoS) and presents three novel schemes for addressing these aspects. For energy efficiency, a novel radio frequency (RF) energy-harvesting scheme is presented in which each IoT device is associated with the best possible RF source in order ...

In this paper, we propose a Mobile Edge Internet of Things (MEIoT) architecture by leveraging the fiber-wireless access technology, the cloudlet concept, and the software defined networking framework. The MEIoT architecture brings computing and storage resources close to Internet of Things (IoT) devices in order to speed up IoT data sharing and analytics. Specifically, the IoT devices (belongin...

The IoT plays an important role in healthcare applications, from managing chronic diseases at one end of the spectrum to preventing disease at the other. IoT devices can be used to enable remote health monitoring and emergency notification systems. IoT aims to provide means to access and control all kinds of ubiquitous and uniquely identifiable devices, facilities and assets. In this paper we d...

This paper proposes the Agent-based Internet of Things (AIoT) architecture and AIoT middleware to realize autonomic and resilient service provisioning in IoT systems. As a massive number of devices are becoming part of the Internet, it is highly difficult to organize IoT devices as a system to provide appropriate services in our lives. It is difficult because the IoT devices are heterogeneous, ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) extends the idea of interconnecting computers to a plethora of different devices, collectively referred to as smart devices. These are physical items – i.e., “things” – such as wearable devices, home appliances, and vehicles, enriched with computational and networking capabilities. Due to the huge set of devices involved – and therefore, its pervasiveness – IoT is a...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become ubiquitous in our daily life, with an estimated 30–75 million IoT devices expected to be connected through the Internet infrastructure by 2020.1,2 The explosive growth in the number and diversity of these devices and their applications are inevitably bringing many nontraditional challenges to the circuit and system design community.3 Perhaps the most cruc...
