A shared multi-stakeholder platform for IoT: poster

Abstract

The Internet of Things is connecting billions of devices and blurring the distinction between the physical and virtual world. However, to unlock the full potential and achieve economies-of-scale, focus should shift from IoT deployment aimed at a single use case or a single customer to a platform where multiple customers utilise a shared infrastructure provided by a distinct party. In this poster abstract, we describe the need for such a shared multi-stakeholder platform and the most challenging design requirements: virtualisation layer with resource abstraction and location-awareness, distributed access control, and support for the distributed application programming model. Furthermore, we propose an architecture and present a prototype of the platform.
