CCN Context-Naming for Efficient Context-Aware Service Discovery in IoT

Abstract

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers great potential for the development of new services and applications connecting the physical world to the virtual world. Due to the rapid growth and heterogeneity of connected objects, it is difficult for users to acquire precise knowledge about IoT services that can interact with. In order to effectively help end-users acquire services and data generated in the IoT, search and discovery mechanisms are crucial. In this paper, we propose an efficient context-aware service discovery mechanism based on Content Centric Networking (CCN) naming feature which creates high level abstraction access to IoT devices. This solution provides a location-identity binding where content can be accessed quickly and accurately.
