An architecture proposal to distributed sensing in Internet of Things

Abstract

The recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) area, which has provided an increasing availability of networked sensors and actuators, has given a new perspective to research in the sensor data processing in IoT. In this sense, the main contribution of this paper is the proposition of COIOT(COntext + IOT), an architecture proposal for distributed sensing in IoT designed with the aim of providing, through rules, the proactive management of the EXEHDA Middleware interactions with the physical environment. To evaluate the functionalities of the proposed architecture we implemented a case study in the agricultural area. The achieved results are very promising.
