Server-based Internet of Things Architecture

Abstract

A new project called the Server-Based Internet-Of-Things Architecture (SBIOTA) is introduced. The aim is to develop architectures, protocols, algorithms and services, based on a gateway server, which allow networked devices with extremely limited computation and communications capabilities to participate in the future Internet effectively, efficiently and securely. Key features are the use of a gateway server, the internal use of publish/subscribe messaging and 6lowPAN network layer, and autoconfiguration mechanisms that combine security and ease-of-use.
