Web of Objects

The ITEA 2 Web of Objects project developed an innovative approach to building automation. This approach utilized smart applications to integrate information from various building-control systems that were previously isolated. The project aimed to create a unified service model based on a service-oriented architecture, incorporating the network infrastructure and its capabilities as part of the services.

Participation

In the project, we worked on designing, implementing, validating, and verifying a proposal for the virtualization of devices and services following the Internet of Things reference architecture model. This proposal integrated aspects such as:

  • The discovery of new devices in a wireless sensor network and their offered services, including resilient registration.
  • The virtual representation of these devices and their services using independent OSGI containers for each device.
  • The orchestration of new services directly performed on low-capacity devices.
  • The management of events generated by the network devices.

With this work, we published a conference paper (missing reference), and a journal paper (missing reference).

Demonstration Videos

As part of the Spanish demonstrator for the project, several videos were created. The two included here are those in which I participated.

Discovery and Registration Process

This video showcases the discovery and registration process of devices that we developed for the project.

Anomaly Detection System

This video demonstrates the anomaly detection system, in which we participated by composing the presence identification service and handling the generated events. Additionally, our colleague Néstor Lucas-Martínez appears in the video playing the role of the intruder accessing the house.
