Interoperability Among Internet of Things (IoT) Components Using Model-Driven Architecture Approach

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) has become most rising technology in IT. The IoT world becomes very smaller, and the possibilities of IoT are endless. The center of attention of IoT is in the area of smart health, industrial (real-time analytical, automation) education, smart farming, connected home (security thermostats), connected cities (like smart meters). Although Internet of things (IoT) is becoming the essential aspect of every person’s life and making the life comfortable, on the other side there are some challenges and problems which are also found in the Internet world. These issues make the smart world more unsafe and challenging like privacy issue, security, reliability, scalability, and interoperability. In these days, problem of incompatibility of devices is at high risk that makes things more expensive. So there is a need to tackle the interoperability problem. This paper proposed a model-driven approach (MDA) for making devices compatible. In the thesis, authors worked on platform independent model (PIM) and computation independent model. Computation independent model (CIM) is captured for the information and transferred into the platform independent model and Unified Modeling Language (UML) tool generate the Java code as a vocabulary.
