پلتفرم تعاملی اینترنت اشیا برای سیستم هوشمند خانه با استفاده از وب اشیا و ابر Interoperable Internet-of-Things Platform for Smart Home System using Web-of-Objects and Cloud

1. Introduction The advancements in Internet and web technologies provide a platform to users to create and consume information. In last decade, the research has focused on the connectivity of all physical objects and information environment to the Internet for enabling a user to access and control things from anywhere and at any time. This revolution coined the term’s Internet of Things (IoTs) [1] and the Internet of Everything (IoE) [2]. IoTs and IoE make smaller objects or things more intelligent and more connected, to perform complex tasks. The IoT is rapidly gaining ground in service and application of latest wireless and wire communications. Also, the IoT is a dynamic and adaptive global information network of a home or a city composed of Internet‐connected things and objects, such as sensors, actuators, Auto‐IDs, radiofrequency identifications and physical objects, as well as other organizations and smart devices that are becoming a vital element of the Internet [4]. However, they lack standardization at the application level. Web of Objects (WoOs) [3] objectifies and virtualizes the assorted real‐world objects to support intelligent features by representing them as Web resources, which can be accessed using lightweight Application Programming Interface (APIs) based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) principles [5] [6]. To efficiently utilize the resources in a smart home environment, the entire home devices should be interconnected and provide connectivity to the end user in order to control it from anywhere and anytime. IoT is converting the smart cities and smart homes from hype into reality. A smart home is the basic and major building block of implementing the smart cities [7]. In this paper, we suggest an interoperable IoTs platform for home devices control using the WoOs concepts. Fig.1 shows the conceptual overview of the smart home control using WoOs and cloud. The proposed architecture framework provides the interoperability among various legacy devices and brings the home appliances on the Web so that we can control any device from anywhere.
