In a bid to satisfy such requirements, modern manufacturing systems, comprising innumerable cyber-physical systems (CPS), aim to be reconfigurable. CPS implement production processes through an ICT infrastructure networked with sensors and actuators embedded in the shop floor. Reconfigurability, in context of manufacturing systems, must include the entire system of networked components and hence requires a flexible ICT infrastructure. Providing flexible ICT infrastructures, often, comes at the cost of diluted quality of service (QoS) guarantees. This, however, is not an option for manufacturing systems, most of which require strict QoS guarantees to function correctly. To overcome this obstacle, we propose a new software-defined environment (SDE) for reconfigurable manufacturing systems with real-time properties in this paper. Software-defined environment is an emerging technology that provides flexible ICT infrastructures modifiable using software. Our contributions include an SDE-based system architecture for dynamically configuring the underlying infrastructure for a manufacturing system. In particular, we focus on configuring the network for the time-sensitive communication flows essential for realising CPS. Moreover, we propose a pair of routing algorithms to calculate routes for these flows while configuring the network.","PeriodicalId":251982,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IOT)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126186482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we follow the web of things approach to introduce a smart aggregation layer device which allows for easy annotation of data with URIs tying into well-established ontologies, thus abstracting from technical addressing schemes. We present an annotation engine that can interlink actors of different sophistication levels in a light-weight messaging scheme, distributing data between operative algorithms, communication applications and operator interfaces.

In order to make Project Haystack standard and fully semantic, we wrapped its vocabulary in an ontology. In this paper, we present the general structure of this ontology, along with a method to turn tag sets into a Semantic Web model and back. The whole results in a reusable ontology design pattern. We aligned our Haystack tagging ontology with the wide-spreaded Semantic Sensor Network upper ontology and we designed a configuration environment for Building Automation systems based on semantic data to illustrate, so as to discuss the added-value of semantics in automation.","PeriodicalId":251982,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IOT)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114856217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such smart environments can comprise a large number of devices from various different vendors. This requires a high degree of decoupling and neither devices nor user agents can rely on a priori knowledge of service APIs. Semantic service descriptions are applicable to heterogeneous application domains due to their high level of abstraction and can enable automatic service composition. This paper shows how the RESTdesc description format and semantic reasoning can be applied to create Web-like mashups in smart environments. Our approach supports highly dynamic environments with resource-constrained IoT devices where services can become unavailable due to device mobility, limited energy, or network disruptions. The concepts are backed by a concrete system architecture whose implementation is publicly available. It is used to evaluate the semantics-based approach in a realistic IoT-related scenario. The results show that current reasoners are able to produce medium-sized IoT mashups, but struggle with state space explosion when physical states become part of the proofing process.","PeriodicalId":251982,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IOT)","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115491710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some anticipate them to number in excess of 212 billion by 2020. Inherently, these devices generate continuous data streams, many of which need to be stored and processed. Traditional approaches, whereby all data are shipped to the cloud, may not continue to be effective as cloud infrastructure may not be able to handle myriads of data streams and their associated storage and processing needs. Using cloud infrastructure alone for data processing significantly increases latency, and contributes to unnecessary energy inefficiencies, including potentially unnecessary data transmission in constrained wireless networks, and on cloud computing facilities increasingly known to be significant consumers of energy. In this paper we present a distributed platform for wireless sensor networks which allows computation to be shifted from the cloud into the network. This reduces the traffic in the sensor network, intermediate networks, and cloud infrastructure. The platform is fully distributed, allowing every node in a homogeneous network to accept continuous queries from a user, find all nodes satisfying the user's query, find an optimal node (Fermat-Weber point) in the network upon which to process the query, and provide the result to the user. Our results show that the number of required messages can be decreased up to 49% and processing latency by 42% in comparison with state-of-the-art approaches, including Innet.","PeriodicalId":251982,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IOT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121753227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike traditional network entities, devices in IoT normally have constrained resources, which makes it hard to provide full-featured security. To provide a secure channel between Constrained Nodes (CN), Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is currently used as the de facto security protocol to secure application messages. This paper introduces the practical analysis of DTLS focusing on the Constrained-Node Networks (CNN). We have investigated security considerations for CNN and analyzed the performance of DTLS with a real implementation on an IoT connectivity platform named SNAIL (Sensor Networks for an All-IP World). For a more practical approach, we have additionally implemented the Lightweight Machine to Machine (LwM2M) protocol on SNAIL and evaluated the security functionalities' network performance. Our various evaluations have shown the impact of embedded cryptography, multi-hop topology, link-layer quality and other constraints. This research would give a comprehensive guidance to whom that wants to provide secure services efficiently to their potential users.","PeriodicalId":251982,"journal":{"name":"2015 5th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IOT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124148059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A local WiFi gateway captures these probes emitted from the connected objects and stores them locally after annotating them with a coarse grained location estimate using a proximity ranging algorithm. External applications can query the aggregated views of state-of-use and location traces of connected objects through a cloud-based query server.
