I2oTegrator: a Service-Oriented IoT Middleware for Intelligent Object Management

The Internet of Things is composed of smart objects having the ability to communicate and send information about themselves and the environment in which they are inserted. In order to achieve this, a series of communication patterns and electronic components, most of the times incompatible with each other, are used. To solve this problem of uniform management of objects, including their tracking and autonomous monitoring, this work proposes a service-oriented middleware, with support for ontology, REST architectural style and communication by message exchange. This middleware has the innovative feature of taking decisions, recognizing situations, triggering alarms, sending and receiving information by exchanging messages with applications or client software.
