通过元中心实现物联网的互操作性
Toward interoperability for the Internet of Things with meta-hubs
摘要：
物联网（IoT）设想对象可以连接到互联网，实时产生和消费数据。今天，有许多中间件平台可用于促进与这些对象的通信。不幸的是，这些平台的互操作性非常有限，因为它需要“手动”连接每个平台提供的服务。我们贡献的一个关键设计目标不是构建另一个中间件，而是通过扩展来增强现有系统的功能，以支持它们集成到异构物联网中心网络中。该扩展包括一个RESTful API来操作我们的扩展的基本组件，即IoT提要。物联网提要允许平台所有者动态整理连接到平台的物联网功能以及它们产生的数据。此外，提要使所有者能够在将数据流连接到其应用程序之前管理和控制这些数据流。随后，这些提要也可以发布到元中心，以便将它们暴露给第三方。我们评估了一个实现我们的Android系统的扩展，以显示在这个平台上使用RESTful API管理数据流的可行性。
英文摘要：
The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions that objects may be connected to the Internet, producing and consuming data in real-time. Today, numerous middleware platforms are available to facilitate the communication with these objects. Unfortunately, the interoperability of these platforms is very limited because it requires to "manually" connect the services proposed by each platform. One key design goal for our contribution is not to build yet another middleware, but rather to augment the functionalities of existing systems via an extension to support their integration into a network of heterogeneous IoT hubs. The extension includes a RESTful API to manipulate the basic component of our extension, the IoT feeds. The IoT feeds allow the platform's owner to dynamically marshal the IoT features connected to the platform, as well as the data that they produce. Furthermore, the feeds enable the owner to manage and control the data flows before connecting them to his applications. Subsequently, these feeds may also be published to meta-hubs in order to expose them to third parties. We evaluated an implementation our extension for Android systems to show the feasibility of managing the data flows using the RESTful API on this platform.
