Abstract

The major components of IoT(Internet of Things) environment are IoT devices rather than the conventional desktop computers. One of the intrinsic characteristics of IoT devices is diversity in view of data type and data access method. In addition, IoT devices usually deal with real-time data. In order to use such IoT data for internal business or cloud services, an IoT platform capable of easy domain management and consistent data access interface is required. This paper proposes a Linux FUSE-based virtual file system connecting IoT devices on POSIX file system view. It is possible to manage IoT domain with the native Linux utilities such as mkdir, mknod, ls and find in the file system. Also, the file system makes it possible to access or control IoT devices through POSIX interface such as open(), read(), write() or close() without any separate APIs or utilities. A test result shows that the management performance of the file system is lower than that of linux file system negligibly.
