Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to extending the Internet to heterogeneous components such as actuators, sensors or other smart devices. In this vision, the IoT foresees novel usage of such devices through applications enabling new device-device or device-people associations. Recent interest in providing digital extensions for these things has led to billions of connected devices offering their services or data through different platforms, some of them wrapped with semantic descriptions to realize aforementioned associations through accurate search processes. However, the ubiquitous aspect of the IoT and the potential mobility of the devices that compose it, prevent from adopting a centralized approach to search and manage these associations for scalability reasons. As devices composing the IoT are geolocalized, we believe that designing a framework composed of geographically distributed and cooperating nodes with local reasoning capabilities is a much more scalable approach to realize the IoT vision. We describe our approach of such vision by creating a federated network composed of such nodes that declare their location, process semantic descriptions of devices and share deduced associations with other peers that are selected based on their location nearness.
Highlights
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent paradigm that gained momentum by proposing to extend the Internet to a variety of things – such as Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators or other smart technological components – which allows to foresee novel usages and applications where these things cooperate together with people, to achieve a common goal [1]

We propose the vision of a distributed framework composed of nodes capable of processing Semantic Web descriptions of connected devices and organized in a federated architecture
Summary
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent paradigm that gained momentum by proposing to extend the Internet to a variety of things – such as Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators or other smart technological components (e.g. smartphones) – which allows to foresee novel usages and applications where these things cooperate together with people, to achieve a common goal [1]. We propose the vision of a distributed framework composed of nodes capable of processing Semantic Web descriptions of connected devices and organized in a federated architecture. We propose that knowledge acquired by each node, be shared with geographically nearby peers, considering location as a very important criterion when searching or associating devices.
