Knowledge of Things: A novel approach to share self-taught knowledge between IoT devices

The heterogeneity of Internet of Things (IoT) has increased as the number of IoT devices connected to the Internet has grown. This trend increases complexity and inconvenience for the use of various IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a Knowledge of Things (KoT) framework which facilitates sharing of self-taught knowledge between heterogeneous IoT devices which require similar or identical knowledge. The proposed model allows IoT devices to efficiently produce, cumulate, and share their self-taught knowledge with other devices in the vicinity.
