Abstract
In this book, we investigate the core activities encompassed in a holistic resource management process for Internet of Things (IoT ), focusing on the different functionalities and architectural approaches involved on a basic workflow for managing the lifecycle of resources in an IoT system. We identified the following activities as the main components of a typical workflow for a resource management system (RMS) in IoT: resource modelling, resource discovery , resource estimation , resource allocation and resource monitoring . In this chapter, we address the first activity, namely the resource modelling . The resource model is a vital part of any RMS that aims at properly representing the elements from the different layers of an IoT ecosystem . In this chapter, we analyse existing proposals for resource modelling, focusing on solutions for both resource representation and application representation. Proposals for resource representation can be grouped into three main categories: attribute-based , semantic-based and virtualization-based . After presenting some examples for each category, we briefly discuss them under three aspects: the degrees of abstraction, granularity and formalism with which the elements are represented in the models. It is important to mention that, although several works implicitly assume some type of representation for the system resources and also for the application, in our discussion we included only the proposals that explicitly define their models, with sufficient details to shed light in the relevant aspects of such models.
