Estudo de caso para identificação de elementos e funcionalidades para uma possível arquitetura de referência para a internet das coisas

Abstract

The basic idea of Internet of Things is to interconnect objects over the Internet. The goal of Internet of Things is to transform ordinary objects, such as automobiles, appliances or other devices, into smart objects, performing tasks and sharing information. Internet of Things has gained popularity and has being applied in several fields and many different scenarios, having significant importance for inovation and evolution of them. Considering the increasing number of solutions developed for the Internet of Things, it is fundamental to establish a reference architecture to improve the development process and the implementation of these solutions, as well as to create a framework for structuring its elements, integrating its stages and to make the definition of its functionalities. There are different initiatives that aim to establish a reference architecture for Internet of Things, however, so far no consensus has been reached. In order to contribute to the state-of-the-art, the present work aim to identify, through the architectures proposed by a especific set of platforms, elements and functionalities for a feasible reference architecture, analyzing the consequences of its implementation.
