Context-aware Control Platform for Sensor Network Integration in IoT and Cloud

Daniel MEREZEANU, Gheorghe VASILESCU, Radu DOBRESCU
Abstract

The main goal of the paper is to integrate three emergent technologies (Wireless Sensor Networks, ynternet of Things and Cloud Computing) in a framework supporting context-aware sensing, computing and communication capabilities into industrial applications. yn this regard, the paper presents original solutions for a context-aware three-tier system architecture, that provides context information sensing and processing, an access mechanism for interfacing sensor networks with yoT and Cloud and a four-level architecture to perform industrial process control, that includes the modules of a context-aware control platform. These solutions are validated with a proof of concept application implemented on a yBM Bluemix yoT platform.

Keywords

Wireless Sensor Networks; ynternet of Things Cloud Computing; context-aware systems; access mechanism; sensor-cloud interface; web services.
