Abstract

The huge numbers of objects connected to the Internet and that permeate the environment we live in are expected to grow considerably, causing the production of an enormous amount of data to be stored, processed and made available in a continuous, efficient, and easily interpretable manner. Cloud computing can provide the virtual infrastructure that meets these requirements providing the appropriate flexible and powerful tools. This paper presents a platform that goes in this direction relying on the following features: the PaaS (Platform as a Service) model is fully exploited, for an easy management and development of applications by both users and programmers; each object is an autonomous social agent running in the cloud, according to which objects are capable of establishing social relationships in an autonomous way with respect to their owners with the benefits of improving the network scalability and information/service discovery; the data is under the control of the users, as the data generated by the objects is stored in the objects owners cloud spaces. The paper concludes presenting the implementation of the platform in the Google App Engine PaaS.
