The Evolution of the Internet of Things Science: Perspectives from IoT Device Management to Managing the IoT Full Stack at the Edge and from Data Collection to Data Marketplaces
The Internet of Things (IoT) has advanced rapidly transforming the perception of the society about the close connection between the data from physical devices, the information that is generated from that data and their effect at the end user applications. In this talk we will analyse the evolution of the Internet of Things from different perspectives and will dive into concepts that represent a vision in how Internet of things looks like today and what we should expect in the years to come. The management of the devices have been a priority in the Internet of Things, and today this has been level up towards managing not only the devices but also the data, the IoT platforms and the applications which those devices are able to support. The Internet of Things Stack was defined including those management techniques (i.e. autonomic, self-management); which ones have been developed over the run of these years? what other management paradigms will emerge in coming years? It is clear that the IoT evolution has been triggered in different directions, from looking at more powerful devices that process large amount of data at the Edge to a larger development in the number of interoperable IoT platforms where the development of architectures in the cloud and cross-domain applications can use the data seamlessly offering new end user applications. This multidirectional evolution has resulted in the creation of several parallel IoT ecosystems, some of them open but most majority proprietary ecosystems. Therefore, we will also discuss the challenges and proposed solutions for interoperability of these IoT ecosystems, current propositions and the management techniques for the delivery of data services over those IoT platforms.
