Abstract:

Internet of Things promises to be an innovative scenario in which the user experience will be enriched by new cyber-physical services and content, shared by multiple actors (things, places, people) with an higher frequency and quality of the current ones. The countless challenges and opportunities that the development of such an ecosystem entails require a marked intervention on the current Internet architectural frameworks and models, primarily as regards the management function.

Pointing in this direction, in this seminar we survey and compare the most relevant autonomic and cognitive architectures for the Internet of Things.
