The Design Once, Provide Anywhere Concept for the Internet of Things Service Implementation

Abstract

In today's IoT landscape, most platforms primarily focus on connecting devices through application-centric strategies. This approach entails using separate protocols for device intercommunication and accommodating devices with diverse capabilities for various situations. However, the current methodology of designing and implementing IoT services proves unreliable due to device heterogeneity and environmental variations. This approach incurs significant time, financial, and developmental costs for service deployment. To address these limitations, a novel platform for deploying IoT services that embrace the 'design once, provide anywhere' concept is introduced. By treating logical devices and environmental elements as separate entities while unifying them under a single adaptable platform, the proposed work aims to streamline the IoT deployment process.
