Abstract & Overview

Abstract The basic idea of is the Internet of Things is presence around us of a variety of things – such as RFID tags, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, etc. – which are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighbors to reach common goals. Semantic oriented IoT visions have also been proposed. The number of items involved in the future Internet is destined to become extremely high. Therefore, issues pertaining how to represent, store, interconnect, search, and organize information generated by the IoT will become very challenging. In this context, semantic technologies will play a key role. And creative approaches to visualizing data – humans are far better than computers at seeing patterns –frequently prove integral to the process of creating knowledge. From a privacy perspective, IoT is challenging because it operates in private settings, like homes, and presents an attack target that is harder to secure.
