Applicability of the CMSIS-RTOS Standard to the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things poses several technological challenges including object identification, sensing, energy management and software development for heterogeneous platforms. In this paper, the applicability of the new CMSIS-RTOS standard to the Internet of Things is evaluated, as a means to provide a standardized platform for the class of devices defined as Smart Objects. A system architecture for the Smart Object class is presented and the benefits of using a standardized API in such an architecture are discussed.
