Abstract

IoT promises a world where Smart Objects (SO) are able to autonomously communicate and work together to make the (human) user's life easier. Popular approaches for development of IoT applications take for granted that on-object resources are evenly constrained. As consequence, we observe a trend towards a data-feeder architecture in which "smart objects" are simple data gatherers and senders. Raw data is stored and processed in cloud platforms feeding Web applications and services. The autonomy of SOs is then compromised as they are not able to operate without these platforms. We propose a framework and architecture for the development of IoT applications where smart objects exhibit autonomy in regards to platforms and human users. We completed the successful evaluation of our proposal with the implementation of a prototype and the execution of a use case for physical resources provisioning.
