Social Internet of Things: Existing Platforms

  • Online

In this course, the most relevant commercial and research platforms, which envision objects with "social" attributes, are presented, analyzed, and compared. More specifically, terms of comparison taken into account are the level of autonomy of the objects, the openness of the platforms to third party applications, the existence of an evident market exploitation visions. Then, the focus will be put on the advantages that such platforms bring (such as network navigability and differentiated trustworthiness levels) as well as the new networking services that they enable. Topics addressed include: Research platforms; Commercial platforms; Analysis and comparison; Network structure and navigability; Trustworthiness management; and Novel networking primitives.

What you will learn:

  • Summarize research trends and initiatives in the SIoT domain
  • Compare various proposed SioT solutions in the literature
  • Discuss new network primitives that incorporate the SIoT concepts
