ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book proposes a cognitive information-centric sensor network (ICSN) architecture toward introducing the cognition concept in Internet of things (IoT) using cognitive nodes deployed at specific locations in the network. It details a possible cognitive data delivery framework, and elaborated on the reasoning and knowledge representation techniques utilized at the cognitive nodes. The book presents an Enhanced 2-Phase Data Delivery (E2-PDD) framework for ICSNs, focusing on efficient content access and distribution as opposed to mere communication between data consumers and publishers. It focuses on the learning techniques that could be used with analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-based reasoning to improve the cognitive decision making capabilities at the local cognitive nodes of the ICSN, operating in an IoT application environment.
