Abstract

Today with the advancement of Internet of Things, the utilization factor has shifted from computers to every gadget being used by human. It is important that the end user services across different applications need to be offered at one-stop. In this paper a novel framework is developed based on cloud and internet of things that derives a new business model by integrating heterogeneous applications and devices. The integrated applications and devices are monitored in real time to provide smart services to end users in case of malfunction or repair of appliances to provide a suitable solution. A use case is implemented for smart home using the defined framework to integrate various application services and to monitor the appliances in real-time. Here heterogeneous applications related to smart home are tightly coupled to offer smart services in the event of failure or repair of home appliances and to assist end users to be energy efficient.
