Abstract

Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) applications have been increasingly deployed in smart domains, such as homes, buildings, and so on. A wide variety of smart devices and solutions bring improved lifestyles. However, current provider-oriented and individual application deployment leads to the separation of a smart domain into respective regions by providers and applications. Such heterogeneous environments hinder unified operation and the utilization of smart IoT applications. Therefore, this Article firstly addresses analyses on conventional smart domain technologies—smart home, smart building, etc.— and deployment in the real world with heterogeneous IoT technologies; then, a novel smart domain strategy for inter-cloud and inter-service operability and mobile-user-attached interactivity is proposed. Performance is compared in terms of user experience and service availability. Finally, numeric analyses are provided to prove the proposed strategy, and the proof-of-concept is presented to show feasibility and performances.

Highlights

  • During the past decade, Internet of Things (IoT) has gained increasing attention and momentum

  • One service scenario S1 is that the smart service manager turns on the light if people exist in one room and turn off the light if no one exists

  • The object-oriented management of things (OOMoT) shows 5 to 6 times lower response time than legacy method. In this Article, we addressed practical limitations of the current heterogeneous IoT environment of smart domains

Summary

Introduction

Internet of Things (IoT) has gained increasing attention and momentum. While SIoT and ASoT take into account global connectivity, they focus on configuring temporary social relations among co-located smart devices Those previous studies required high intelligence and a new protocol stack in devices, gateways, and cloud servers; or powerful computing elements for centralized control. A stationary service interface of each platform restricts service boundary and inter-service operability; the current smart domain technologies over the heterogeneous environment are practically not so smart This Article proposes a novel smart domain strategy for user-friendly service provisioning over heterogeneous IoT environments and inter-service operation for integrated management of various devices. The novel smart domain strategy can provide inter-connectivity among such heterogeneous IoT platforms This novel practical interconnectivity and service strategy is called mobile-driven inter-operation and user-attached interactivity (MIUI) and object-oriented management of things (OOMoT).
