Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality for many reasons: low powers processors, improvements in wireless communication technologies and electronic devices. This will initiate new business opportunities in providing these novel applications and services, which integrate efficiently IoT services into enterprise applications. The work presented here proposes an Agent-based approach for an effective integration of the IoT in enterprise systems. The proposed approach defines a new meta-model to describe this integration. Also, the paper presents an agent-based system architecture whose main goal is to address and tackle interoperability challenges in the context of IoT environments. Also, it solves the interoperability issues between heterogeneous Cloud services environments by offering a harmonized API.
