1. OpenIoT
Importance of
OpenIoT in IoT
“OpenIoT” is an open source middleware for getting
information from sensor clouds, without worrying
what exact sensors are used.
Depending on the IoT application, the challenges may be
different. IoT platforms help in such scenarios as they
abstract the hardware while simplifying deployment.
The overview of IoT platform
There are different types of platforms available that often
are referred to as IoT platforms, such as device-to-device,
cloud-based and device-to-cloud platforms (which are often
also referred to as enterprise platforms that face a vendor
lockdown . The diversity of IoT platforms and their complex
offerings creates confusion among developers and
researchers, as well as end users.
Openness is one of the emerging trends that is evident in IoT
domains. More and more IoT players are motivated to use
open systems due to the associated benefits such as
convenience and fast development resulting in major cost
savings for the industry .
