SenaaS: An event-driven sensor virtualization approach for Internet of Things cloud

In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) virtualization framework to support connected objects sensor event processing and reasoning by providing a semantic overlay of underlying IoT cloud. The framework uses the sensor-as-aservice notion to expose IoT cloud's connected objects functional aspects in the form of web services. The framework uses an adapter oriented approach to address the issue of connectivity with various types of sensor nodes. We employ semantic enhanced access polices to ensure that only authorized parties can access the IoT framework services, which result in enhancing overall security of the proposed framework. Furthermore, the use of event-driven service oriented architecture (e-SOA) paradigm assists the framework to leverage the monitoring process by dynamically sensing and responding to different connected objects sensor events. We present our design principles, implementations, and demonstrate the development of IoT application with reasoning capability by using a green school motorcycle (GSMC) case study. Our exploration shows that amalgamation of e-SOA, semantic web technologies and virtualization paves the way to address the connectivity, security and monitoring issues of IoT domain.
