Research Area: Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) aids an interconnection between systems, humans, and services to develop computation-intensive autonomous applications. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) concepts have been used as defacto software architecture to develop IoT-based systems. Though SOA facilitates various benefits, several challenges exist for integration with IoT-based systems, including configurability, interoperability, and manageability. The ontology-based approach provides a semantically enriched and rigorous platform for interoperating different heterogeneous IoT-based systems and applications. The semantic modelling research has focused on IoT resource management without concerning the method of accessing and utilizing IoT information. In this context, an IoT-based large-scale SOA (IoT-LSS) ontology is proposed that supports interoperability, heterogeneity, flexibility, manageability, extendibility, scalability. This ontology integrates the concept of large-scale SOA (LSS) with semantic sensor network (SSN) ontology. Clinical decision support system (CDSS) ontology has considered as a case study to illustrate the proposed ontology. A detailed comparative analysis between the proposed system and several existing IoT-based service ontologies has been performed based on different characteristics. This analysis shows that IoT-LSS supports dynamic features and exposes to service with its different mechanisms. This article presents an ontological framework for the IoT service-based environment to efficiently use for service composition mechanisms in the large service domain.
