Taking the SIoT down from the cloud: Integrating the Social Internet of Things in the INPUT architecture

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is a paradigm which is rapidly gaining ground in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. In the SIoT objects can establish social-like relationships between each others autonomously. In this paper a solution is presented that integrates the SIoT concept in the architecture proposed within the INPUT project. More specifically the feature is exploited of the INPUT project which allows for running the virtual representation of a smart/social object in the access router which is nearest to the physical object. In this way it is expected that delay will decrease and efficiency in the usage of network resources will increase.
