A REST-based publish/subscribe platform to support things-to-services communications
2013
The term “Internet of Things” has been used widely in recent years, bringing up a grand idea of connecting physical objects with one another through both wired and wireless networks. Maturity of the Internet Protocol has pushed 21st century communications between devices to go all-IP, which includes everyday objects. Many new services are deployed in the “cloud”, utilising the Internet infrastructure and the Web, and information from everyday objects can play an important role. This paper presents an information integration platform which enables everyday objects to communicate with Internet services based on event-driven service-oriented architecture paradigm. A proof-of-concept prototype …
Transport Protocols for Remote Programming of Network Robots within the context of Telelaboratories for Education: A Comparative Analysis
2007
Within the context of tele-laboratories for education the use of the Internet as communication media permits any researcher/student to perform remote experiments in a simple and reliable manner. Moreover, this situation introduces many interesting issues like network protocols for Internet robots, the effects of variable bandwidth and time-delays on telerobotics, etc. In this paper we present a comparative analysis of using several Internet transport protocols when performing a remote experiment within the UJI Industrial Telelaboratory. TCP, UDP, Trinomial and TEAR protocols are analyzed using the NS2 simulator. Conclusions show a set of characteristics the authors of this paper consider ve…
A Migration Path for the Internet: From Best-Effort to a QoS Capable Infrastructure by Means of Localized Admission Control
2000
Looking back at many proposals appeared on the scene in these years, a fundamental lesson to be learned is that their success or failure is strictly tied to their backward compatibility with existing infrastructures. In this paper, we consider the problem of providing explicit admission control decisions for QoS aware services. We rely the decision to admit a new flow upon the successful and timely delivery, through the Internet, of probe packets independently generated by the end points. Our solution, called GRIP (Gauge&Gate Realistic Internet Protocol), is fully distributed and scalable, as admission control decisions are taken at the edge network nodes, and no coordination between router…
