Towards the internet of everything: Deployment scenarios for a QoO-aware integration platform

Abstract

Abstract-Built upon the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Everything (IoE) acknowledges the importance of data quality within sensor-based systems, alongside with people, processes and Things. Nevertheless, the impact of many technologies and paradigms that pertain to the IoE is still unknown regarding Quality of Observation (QoO).This paper proposes to study experimental results from three IoE-related deployment scenarios in order to promote the QoO notion and raise awareness about the need for characterizing observation quality within sensor-based systems. We specifically tailor the definition of QoO attributes to each use case, assessing observation accuracy within Smart Cities, observation rate for virtual sensors and observation freshness within post-disaster areas. To emulate these different experiments, we rely on a custom-developed integration platform for the assessment of QoO as a service called iQAS.We show that QoO attributes should be used to specify what is an observation of "good quality", that virtual sensors may have specific and limiting capabilities impacting QoO and that network QoS and QoO are two complementary quality dimensions that should be used together to improve the overall service provided to end-users.

The Ideas of Sustainable and Green Marketing Based on the Internet of Everything—The Case of the Dairy Industry

“…Its idea assumes connections among people, processes, data, and objects [37]. IoE was initially defined by CISCO in 2012 as "a network of networks that reunites people, processes, data, and things in network connections more significant and valuable than ever" [38,39]. So, IoE builds an advanced, intelligent network of objects.…”

“…Accordingly, IoE exceeds the relationships of objects and integrates them to build a specific interconnected society. Therefore, intelligent services and things define "everything" in the IoE concept [38].…”

Internet of Everything (IoE) Taxonomies: A Survey and a Novel Knowledge-Based Taxonomy

“…The Internet of everything (IoE) is a term that was first defined by CISCO in 2012 [ 1 ] as a network of networks that reunites people, processes, data, and things in network connections more significant and valuable than ever [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. While the Internet of things (IoT) is a dynamic global network infrastructure [ 5 ] concerned about things (i.e., physical devices, accessed through the Internet), IoE lays an upper foundation over IoT and is concerned with intelligent network connections and technologies [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Accordingly, Auger et al [ 4 ] argue that IoE extends the concept of IoT by exceeding the connections of things and integrating common impacts, risks, and economic benefits for the novel interconnected society. Thus, “intelligent services”, together with the “things”, represent the “everything” in IoE [ 14 ].…”

“…With more relevant connections than machine-to-machine communications, IoE has enabled the global democratization of skills, including person-to-machine and person-toperson connections [12,13]. Accordingly, Auger et al [4] argue that IoE extends the concept of IoT by exceeding the connections of things and integrating common impacts, risks, and economic benefits for the novel interconnected society. Thus, "intelligent services", together with the "things", represent the "everything" in IoE [14].…”
