    © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. With integrating physical devices into digital world, Internet of Things (IoT) have presented tremendous potential in various different application domains such as smart cities, intelligent transportation, smart home, healthcare and industrial automation. However, current IoT solutions and usage scenarios are still very limited because of the difficulty in sensing the context in continuously changing environments and adaptation to the changes accordingly. The complex dynamic interactions between system components and physical environments are a bit challenging especially when there are other concerns such as scalability and heterogeneity. To solve this problem, a novel adaptive service-oriented paradigm is proposed to support IoT from a low-level viewpoint. The paradigm can overcome some disadvantages of REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture style in the IoT. Two classical examples are illustrated using the proposed paradigm by adding an extra constraint based on REST to improve system states verification and enhance the functionality in modelling physical processes

    Domain Objects and Microservices for Systems Development: a roadmap

    This paper discusses a roadmap to investigate Domain Objects being an adequate formalism to capture the peculiarity of microservice architecture, and to support Software development since the early stages. It provides a survey of both Microservices and Domain Objects, and it discusses plans and reflections on how to investigate whether a modeling approach suited to adaptable service-based components can also be applied with success to the microservice scenario

    Middleware Technologies for Cloud of Things - a survey

    The next wave of communication and applications rely on the new services provided by Internet of Things which is becoming an important aspect in human and machines future. The IoT services are a key solution for providing smart environments in homes, buildings and cities. In the era of a massive number of connected things and objects with a high grow rate, several challenges have been raised such as management, aggregation and storage for big produced data. In order to tackle some of these issues, cloud computing emerged to IoT as Cloud of Things (CoT) which provides virtually unlimited cloud services to enhance the large scale IoT platforms. There are several factors to be considered in design and implementation of a CoT platform. One of the most important and challenging problems is the heterogeneity of different objects. This problem can be addressed by deploying suitable "Middleware". Middleware sits between things and applications that make a reliable platform for communication among things with different interfaces, operating systems, and architectures. The main aim of this paper is to study the middleware technologies for CoT. Toward this end, we first present the main features and characteristics of middlewares. Next we study different architecture styles and service domains. Then we presents several middlewares that are suitable for CoT based platforms and lastly a list of current challenges and issues in design of CoT based middlewares is discussed.Comment: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352864817301268, Digital Communications and Networks, Elsevier (2017

    Towards critical event monitoring, detection and prediction for self-adaptive future Internet applications

    No full text
    The Future Internet (FI) will be composed of a multitude of diverse types of services that offer flexible, remote access to software features, content, computing resources, and middleware solutions through different cloud delivery models, such as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Ultimately, this means that loosely coupled Internet services will form a comprehensive base for developing value added applications in an agile way. Unlike traditional application development, which uses computing resources and software components under local administrative control, FI applications will thus strongly depend on third-party services. To maintain their quality of service, those applications therefore need to dynamically and autonomously adapt to an unprecedented level of changes that may occur during runtime. In this paper, we present our recent experiences on monitoring, detection, and prediction of critical events for both software services and multimedia applications. Based on these findings we introduce potential directions for future research on self-adaptive FI applications, bringing together those research directions
