A survey on Internet of Things coordination

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in IT. It interconnects and integrates large numbers of digital and physical entities by capability of appropriate information and communication technologies, to enable building enormous useful and unimaginable services and applications. However building new IoT services or applications is a fastidious task since it is faced to several challenges such as interoperability, context-awareness, discovery, etc. In this paper we are interested on coordination challenge that is still open despite the efforts of international organizations and scientific research groups. In fact we outline in this contribution a recent literature review of existing IoT coordination approaches. A classification and our vision on this topic are presented.
