Toward Service Aggregation for Edge Computing

Interoperability is one of crucial Internet-related research domains. Today, there is a shift in the architecture of the Internet and the traditional communication model; the human part in machine communication is blurring into a more sophisticated thing-to-thing communication model. In this model things search for other things and provide collaboration-base services, this way leading to more complex interaction issues. Especially, interoperability must transcend the use of protocols and include semantic to make the different building blocks of the Internet of Things (IoT) work together and exploit the maximum of it. Hence, we present our vision and concept of a multilayer model for IoT infrastructure to: abstract the data sources infrastructure, define filtering and formatting mechanisms, and to present pertinent data in the form of simple unitary or aggregation of multiple services.
