3. Introduction
 Internet of Things
• The main idea refers to a type of network for
connecting any kind of object with the
Internet for conducting information exchange
and communication with the goal of
achieving services like monitoring, tracing,
positioning and smart recognitions [1].

4. Introduction
internet

5. Introduction
 Challenge
• Current internet can support such a
challenge, i.e., scalability, naming,
identification, addressing for billions of
nodes?

6. Introduction
 Solution
• Hundreds of worldwide initiatives to
redesign the Internet are underway – Future
Internet (FI) design.
• New proposals for internet architectures
and protocols [2] [3] [4].

7. Introduction
 NovaGenesis
• Set of distributed systems
where any information
processing is seen as a service,
even networking
functionalities.
• The services must organize themselves using names
and contracts where the objective is to create a clean
slate architecture for new information exchanging
and processing class [5].

8. Introduction
 NovaGenesis as concept

Server
Objects
“Things”

9. Introduction
 Architecture
• Micro application server: used for
controlling the “things” that are connected
on it, managing their services and working
as a central database.
• “Things”: objects with specific objectives
like sensing, billing, data collection, and
others.

10. Objectives
 For the things (objects)
• Design an architecture that can be easily
ported and used in any SoC device allowing
flexibility on updating the object
functionality.
 For the main application server
• Design an architecture with data storage
capability and data analysis performance for
managing many objects.
