Smart gateway based communication for cloud of things

Abstract

Integration of Internet of Things with Cloud Computing is gaining importance, with the way the trend is going on in ubiquitous computing world. Literally, everything is going to be connected to the Internet and its data will be used for various progressive purposes, creating not only information from it, but also, knowledge and even wisdom. Internet of Things (IoT) becoming so pervasive that it is becoming important to integrate it with cloud computing because of the amount of data IoT's could generate and their requirement to have the privilege of virtual resource utilization and storage capacity, but also, to make it possible to create more usefulness from the data generated by IoT's and develop smart applications for the users. Integration of IoT with Cloud Computing, referred here as Cloud of Things, requires smart gateway to perform the rich tasks and preprocessing, which sensors and light IoTs are not capable of doing. This paper focuses on some of the key challenges involved in CoT and the proposal of smart gateway based communication.
