Managing Resources in Internet of Things with Semantic Hyper-Network Model

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims at providing us a promising and fascinating vision by integrating the physical space of smart objects, the virtual cyberspace of information, and society of human seamlessly. As an extremely large-scaled network, massive resources of different kinds in IoT have led to a primary challenge for the resource management and exploitation. This paper proposes a semantic hyper-network model to manage the IoT resources efficiently and effectively with a hierarchical and recursive way. The model can also support resource finding and mash-up for the purpose of new service and application generation with the help of several proposed operations in the context of the Internet of Things.
