Web Services for the Internet of Things -- A Feasibility Study

Abstract

Applications interoperability for the Internet of Things is one of the major research challenges today. This Ph.D. work proposes a methodology for the adaptation of web services for applications interoperability in the Internet of Things domain. The challenge of using web services in the IoT is analyzed and a solution is proposed in the form of an open, standards based methodology advocating the suitability even for resource constrained environments. The contributions are supported by peer-reviewed publications in international conferences and journals. Further, the applicability and results of the Thesis is evident by an award received, researchers'/developers citations, and expect that public and private contracts and projects consider the proposal.
