Connecting mobile things to global sensor network middleware using system-generated wrappers

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 inter- vention. With the ever increasing emergence of new sen- sors, 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 mid- dleware drivers/wrappers for the IoT things. We propose ASCM4GSN architecture to address this challenge eciently and e ectively. We demonstrate the proposed approach us- ing Global Sensor Network (GSN) middleware which exem- pli es a cluster of data streaming engines. The ASCM4GSN architecture signi cantly speeds up the wrapper develop- ment and sensor con guration process as demonstrated for Android mobile phone based sensors as well as for Sun SPOT sensors
