WP.5. Decentralized and Autonomous Things Management

WP.5. Decentralized and Autonomous Things Management

The main objective of this work package is to overcome the inefficiencies of existing management approaches given the big number of things and the different administrative domains on which they operate. To this direction, WP5 will provide a framework for the decentralized and autonomous management of things based on service-, interaction-, location- and reputation-oriented principles, inspired by social media technologies. Building and extending such technologies would provide the basis for decentralized management as required by the big number of things and their operation under different administrative domains and rules.
In particular, this WP will focus on:

  • The coordination framework for managing the network of things considering different administrative rules,
    locations, reputation and trust patterns, as well as IoT application requirements and interactions between the
    objects.
  • Mechanisms allowing things to react in an autonomous and predictive way based on the information retrieved from other objects regarding their experiences under the same conditions.
  • Approaches for runtime adaptability of the network and of things operation based on their state and their behaviour as identified from the analysis of raw data regarding evolving interactions, events and IoT application requirements.
