Automatic Cloud-Based IoT Mashup Algorithm

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are two of the most important trends in information and communication technology that attract the attention of many researchers in recent years. A new trend is raised from integrating both trends called Cloud of Things (CoT). In this paper, we focus on integrating IoT with cloud computing because of the benefits that IoT can gained from unlimited storage and unlimited processing capabilities provided by cloud computing. Firstly, we propose a CoT architecture that supports Things as a Service (TaaS) and IoT Mashup as a Service (MaaS). Secondly, we develop an automatic IoT Mashup Algorithm (IoTMA) for application development in less response time by composing existing things services and web services without needing of high experience in programming. Experimental results proved that our algorithm reduced the response time compared to some other recent related works.
