Abstract

Implementing Internet of Things (IoT) applications is tightly coupled to challenges like sensor integration, sensor management, semantics, heterogeneity, or abstraction. Irrespective of the challenges, a proliferation of IoT-related applications and solutions can be observed. This leads to an ever-expanding amount of sensors and devices deployed in our environment. As a result, the resources made available by the sensors and devices are increasing as well. Thus, apart from the aforementioned challenges, a resource management challenge arises. Similar to other domains, the available resources have to be managed and provisioned in an efficient manner in order to maximize the benefit the users can gain. Related concepts like on-demand provisioning, elasticity, or resource pooling have already been discussed and investigated with regard to the cloud computing domain. Accordingly, this chapter presents the device cloud concept, which aims at applying related cloud computing resource management concepts to the IoT domain. Sensors and devices are organized in resource pools and are dynamically provisioned to users that can benefit from them. The device cloud cuts static bindings between devices and users. Like the pay-as-you-go paradigm known from cloud computing, it allows accessing any kind of physical IoT resource on demand. Thus, the device cloud turns the users’ perception of the cloud. An endless remote resource provided by computing centers becomes an endless resource surrounding them.
