A Smart Home Application Based on the Internet of Things Management Platform

The Internet of Things is an emerging research area promising many interesting solutions to various problems encountered in various domains. The ever-expanding networks of sensors, actuators and smart devices on the Internet of Things, will raise interesting challenges for service and network management. This paper explores these challenges and expands on an already proposed management platform for the Internet of Things. The platform offers a management solution for things, specifically constrained things that suffer from limited computation and power resources. Also, this work introduces and demonstrates some of the monitoring and control management capabilities provided by the proposed platform. The results of a smart home experiment conducted to show the advantages of this platform are also reported.
