Internet of Things (IoT) will create a cyberphysical world where all the things around us are connected to the Inter net, sense and produce "big data" that has to be stored, processed and communicated with minimum human intervention. With the ever increasing emergence of new sensors, interfaces and mobile devices, the grand challenge is to keep up with this race in developing software drivers and wrappers for IoT things. In this paper, we examine the approaches that automate the process of developing middleware drivers wrappers for the IoT things. We propose ASCM4GSN architecture to address this challenge efficiently and effectively. We demonstrate the proposed approach using Global Sensor Network (GSN) middleware which exemplifies a cluster of data streaming engines. The ASCM4GSN architecture significantly speeds up the wrapper development and sensor configuration process as demonstrated for Android mobile phone based sensors as well as for Sun SPOT sensors.
Web Services Gateways @cite_27 is an approach based on Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS). The focus is on connecting industrial devices, where the devices have a lifetime of often more than 40 years, to the client applications in IoT paradigm. They have developed gateways comprises with web services that provide interfaces to access the devices.The web service are generated automatically using predefined models.

The OASIS standard Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS) enables the use of Web services on smart and resource-constrained devices, which are the cornerstones of the Internet of Things (IoT). DPWS sees a perspective of being able to build service-oriented and event-driven IoT applications on top of these devices with secure Web service capabilities and a seamless integration into existing World Wide Web infrastructure. We introduce DPWSim, a simulation toolkit to support the development of such applications. DPWSim allows developers to prototype, develop, and test IoT applications using the DPWS technology without the presence of physical devices. It also can be used for the collaboration between manufacturers, developers, and designers during the new product development process. This article introduces the Follow-Me Cloud concept and proposes its framework. The proposed framework is aimed at smooth migration of all or only a required portion of an ongoing IP service between a data center and user equipment of a 3GPP mobile network to another optimal DC with no service disruption. The service migration and continuity is supported by replacing IP addressing with service identification. Indeed, an FMC service application is identified, upon establishment, by a session service ID, dynamically changing along with the service being delivered over the session; it consists of a unique identifier of UE within the 3GPP mobile network, an identifier of the cloud service, and dynamically changing characteristics of the cloud service. Service migration in FMC is triggered by change in the IP address of the UE due to a change of data anchor gateway in the mobile network, in turn due to UE mobility and or for load balancing. An optimal DC is then selected based on the features of the new data anchor gateway. Smooth service migration and continuity are supported thanks to logic installed at UE and DCs that maps features of IP flows to the session service ID. With the proliferation of portable and mobile IoT devices and their increasing processing capability, we witness that the edge of network is moving to the IoT gateways and smart devices. To avoid Big Data issues (e.g. high latency of cloud based IoT), the processing of the captured data is starting from the IoT edge node. However, the available processing capabilities and energy resources are still limited and do not allow to fully process the data on-board. It calls for offloading some portions of computation to the gateway or servers. Due to the limited bandwidth of the IoT gateways, choosing the offloading levels of connected devices and allocating bandwidth to them is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a technique for managing computation offloading in a local IoT network under bandwidth constraints. The existing bandwidth allocation and computation offloading management techniques underutilize the gateway's resources (e.g. bandwidth) due to the fragmentation issue. This issue stems from the discrete coarse-grained choices (i.e. offloading levels) on the IoT end nodes. Our proposed technique addresses this issue, and utilizes the available resources of the gateway effectively. The experimental results show on average 1 hour (up to 1.5 hour) improvement in battery life of edge devices. The utilization of gateway's bandwidth increased by 40 . In this paper, we propose a hierarchical monitoring intrusion detection system (HAMIDS) for industrial control systems (ICS). The HAMIDS framework detects the anomalies in both level 0 and level 1 of an industrial control plant. In addition, the framework aggregates the cyber-physical process data in one point for further analysis as part of the intrusion detection process. The novelty of this framework is its ability to detect anomalies that have a distributed impact on the cyber-physical process. The performance of the proposed framework evaluated as part of SWaT security showdown (S3) in which six international teams were invited to test the framework in a real industrial control system. The proposed framework outperformed other proposed academic IDS in term of detection of ICS threats during the S3 event, which was held from July 25-29, 2016 at Singapore University of Technology and Design.
