Project Overview
OpenIoT delivers an open-source IoT middleware that abstracts heterogeneous sensors and services, enabling sensing-as-a-service deployments across cloud environments.
The OpenIoT project creates an open source middleware for getting information from sensor clouds, without having to worry about what exact sensors are used. The initiative explores efficient cloud management for IoT entities and resources, offering utility-based (i.e. pay-as-you-go) IoT services. The middleware enables flexible deployment of algorithms for data collection and filtering while generating business and application events.
Research Focus Areas:
- Middleware for sensors and sensor networks
- Ontologies, semantic models, and annotations for internet-connected objects
- Cloud/utility computing with security and privacy schemes
The OpenIoT platform abstracts heterogeneous sensors and services, enabling sensing-as-a-service deployments across cloud environments. This approach allows developers and researchers to build IoT applications that can dynamically discover, configure, and utilize sensors regardless of their underlying hardware or communication protocols.
