Abstract

The emerging paradigm of the Internet of Things with millions of devices dynamically interconnected to share data imposes new requirements to applications and infrastructures. New challenges raise in terms of connectivity, resource discovery and support for multidomains distributed applications. Furthermore, the connection parameters of involved devices can dynamically change over the time and must be properly discovered. This paper proposes a multi broker platform (MBP) built on top of an existing interoperability platform, Smart-M3. MBP enables the original platform to manage multi-domain scenarios, it also provides a semantic mechanism for context-broker discovery and a virtualization interface to reach remote nodes.
