Abstract

People have been increasingly interested in the hyper-connected society, where billions of IoT devices and smart phones could be connected to each other and their data could be shared in anywhere and anytime. In the hyper-connected society, Geo-IoT has been attracting much attention as a core technology to realize cyber-physical system which intertwines the real world and the cyber world. Therefore, much research such as data acquisition, storage management, data analysis, visualization, and standardization for Geo-IoT has been actively conducted. In this study, we will present future research directions and challenges by analyzing such the research trends, core issues, and technology levels for various Geo-IoT research areas. As one solution to the future research challenges, we will also present a platform architecture capable of efficiently supporting various types of Geo-IoT applications. The proposed platform consists of a node platform and a server platform, which can support dynamic acquisition, integration, management, and analysis of huge amounts of heterogeneous spatial, location, social and sensor data. In particular, we design the Geo-IoT node platform to enable real-time edge computing support in sensor nodes of mobile environment. Finally, we think our proposed platform architecture will be sufficient to prepare the rapid growth of the recent real-time Geo-IoT service market such as Smart City, CPS, O2O, LBS, AR, CPS, Autonomous Driving, Robot and Drone.
