Cognitive Internet-of-Things solutions enabled by wireless sensor and actuator networks

In this paper, the design and development of wireless sensor and actuator networks that enable Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions are investigated from the perspective of cognitive infocommunications. The reasons, requirements, and issues related to adaptive systems and architectures are presented, and the corresponding intra-cognitive and inter-cognitive communications are examined. The current and future roles of infocommunications in the design of IoT solutions are indicated via several case experiments in different application domains.
