Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to augment the Internet by enabling machine to machine (M2M) communication. However, the machines, or 'things' lack of self-reasoning capability limits their potential applications in other value-added services. Consequently, we introduce the concept of Agents of Things (AoT) as an extension to the IoT, in which the things are embedded with self-reasoning intelligent software agents to provide value-added services to humans. Two crucial issues in designing intelligent things are to determine what value-added services they should offer and the subsequent level of reasoning abilities for the things. Therefore, we need to find an optimal match between the hardware capabilities of the things and their software agents' reasoning abilities to deliver value-added services on top of performing their basic IoT functions. In this paper, we present the results of the software analyses represented by a software spectrum and the hardware analyses represented by a hardware spectrum. We then associate the two spectrums to form a structured hardware-software optimizer for the thing's design model.

面向物的agent中的物的设计模型

物联网(IoT)有望通过实现机器对机器(M2M)通信来增强互联网。然而，这些机器或“东西”缺乏自我推理能力，限制了它们在其他增值服务中的潜在应用。因此，我们引入物联网代理(agent of Things, AoT)概念作为物联网的延伸，在物联网中嵌入自我推理的智能软件代理，为人类提供增值服务。设计智能事物的两个关键问题是确定它们应该提供哪些增值服务，以及事物的后续推理能力水平。因此，我们需要在事物的硬件能力与其软件代理的推理能力之间找到最佳匹配，以便在执行其基本物联网功能的基础上提供增值服务。本文给出了用软件谱表示的软件分析结果和用硬件谱表示的硬件分析结果。然后，我们将这两个频谱关联起来，形成一个结构化的硬件-软件优化器，用于该事物的设计模型。
