Semantic-based IoT device discovery and recommendation mechanism

Abstract

The Internet of Things is about data, different devices from different places and the connectivity between them. Our goal is to find a way to interact with the devices and their data, according to the customer's requirements, in the IoT context, all this supported by the use of Web services. We present a broker based architecture for service selection which facilitates devices to specify both functional and non-functional requirements. We develop a device discovery and recommendation mechanism based on a proposed web service similarity metric.
