As a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT), the Web of Things (WoT) shares many characteristics with wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) and ubiquitous computing systems (Ubicomp). Yet to a far greater degree than the IoT, WSANs or Ubicomp, the WoT will integrate physical and information objects, necessitating a means to model and reason about a range of context types that have hithe...

Recently there has been quite a number of independent research activities that investigate the potentialities of integrating social networking concepts into Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The resulting paradigm, named Social Internet of Things (SIoT), has the potential to support novel applications and networking services for the IoT in more effective and efficient ways. In this context, t...

Early warning score (EWS) is an approach to detect the deterioration of a patient. It is based on a fact that there are several changes in the physiological parameters prior a clinical deterioration of a patient. Currently, EWS procedure is mostly used for in-hospital clinical cases and is performed in a manual paper-based fashion. In this paper, we propose an automated EWS health monitoring sy...

Das Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, IoT) stellt einen aktuell viel diskutierten Schritt in der Evolution verteilter Computersysteme dar.

Internet of things (IoT) constitutes one of the most important technology that has the potential to affect deeply our way of life, after mobile phones and Internet. The basic idea is that every objet that is around us will be part of the network (Internet), interacting to reach a common goal. In another word, the Internet of Things concept aims to link the physical world to the digital one. Tec...

In this presentation, we will introduce and explain a research roadmap for Future Internet enterprise systems. This research roadmap has been developed by the community of scientists, developers and other stakeholders in the context of the “Future Internet Enterprise Systems” cluster, managed by the “Internet of Things and Networked Enterprise” unit of the Information Society and Media General-...

The rapid growth of small Internet connected devices, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), is creating a new set of challenges to create secure, private infrastructures. The purpose of this paper is to review the current literature on the challenges and approaches to security and privacy in the Internet of Things, with an especial focus on how these aspects are handled in IoT middleware. We f...

In this paper, we review the importance of the Internet of Things and the rapid growth of today’s digital age. We examine related work on standard security structure, past surveys on the Internet of Things, and discuss background information on this developing issue. This paper presents our methodology for creating and distributing surveys to willing participants. This paper will also present r...

Context information can add more meaning and value to the sensor data in Internet of Things. However, due to the large amount of sources of contexts and sensor data, the exchange of contexts through the networks may cause more and more data traffic. This paper proposes a novel method for maintaining and exchanging contexts through the Internet more efficiently. Contexts are classified into diff...
