Middleware Interoperability

Automated Synthesis of Mediators for Middleware-layer Protocol Interoperability in the IoT

To enable direct Internet connectivity of Things, complete protocol stacks need to be deployed on resource-constrained devices. Such protocol stacks typically build on lightweight IPv6 adaptations and may even include a middleware layer supporting …

Adaptive Mediation for Data Exchange in IoT Systems

Messaging and communication is a critical aspect of next generation Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems where interactions among devices, software systems/services and end-users is the expected mode of operation. Given the diverse and changing …

Interconnecting and Monitoring Heterogeneous Things in IoT Applications

Internet of Things (IoT) applications incorporate heterogeneous devices that employ different middleware protocols (MQTT, CoAP, WebSocket, etc). In this paper we present an extension of our cross-integration platform which supports the …

Enabling emergent mobile systems in the IoT: from middleware-layer communication interoperability to associated QoS analysis

Internet of Things (IoT) applications consist of diverse Things including both resource-constrained/rich devices with a considerable portion being mobile. Such devices demand lightweight, loosely coupled interactions in terms of time, space, and …

Revisiting Service-oriented Architecture for the IoT: a Middleware Perspective

By bridging the physical and the virtual worlds, the Internet of Things (IoT) impacts a multitude of application domains, among which smart cities, smart factories, resource management, intelligent transportation, health and well-being to name a few. …

Analysis of Timing Constraints in Heterogeneous Middleware Interactions

With the emergence of Future Internet applications that connect web services, sensor-actuator networks and service feeds, scalability and heterogeneity support of interaction paradigms are of critical importance. Heterogeneous interactions can be …

Service-oriented Distributed Applications in the Future Internet: The case for Interaction Paradigm Interoperability

The essential issue of interoperability in distributed systems is becoming even more pressing in the Future Internet, where complex applications will be composed from extremely heterogeneous systems. Open system integration paradigms, such as service …
