ABSTRACT

Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) area have progressively moved in different directions. IoT Advances have drawn a common big challenge that focuses on the integration of the IoT generated data. Several IoT projects have started work on the semantic interoperability of diverse IoT platforms, services and data streams. The semantic interoperability of diverse sensor clusters and IoT networks is based on the virtualization of sensors in the cloud. Based on the Sensing-as-a-Service paradigm, dynamic virtualized discovery capabilities for IoT resources could give rise to a more general class of Experiment-as-a-Service (EaaS) applications for IoT domain. EaaS services are executed over converged IoT/cloud platforms, which additional developments are required on the basis of adapting technologies for exchanging data and interacting each other for mutual sharing of available resources. In the context of the Internet of Things and testbeds, a federation considers that each testbed operates both individually and as part of a larger federation in order to gain value.
