dc.description.abstractIn the near future, most of our everyday devices will be accessible via some network and uniquely identified for interconnection over the Internet. This new paradigm, called Internet of Things (IoT), is already starting to influence our society and is now driving developments in many areas. There will be thousands, or even millions, of constrained devices that will be connected using standard protocols, such as Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), that have been developed under certain specifications appropriate for this type of devices. In addition, there will be a need to interconnect networks of constrained devices in a reliable and scalable way, and federations of sensor networks using the Internet as a medium will be formed. To make the federation of geographically distributed CoAP based sensor networks possible, a CoAP Usage for REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) was recently proposed. RELOAD is a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol that ensures an abstract storage and messaging service to its clients, and it relies on a set of cooperating peers that form a P2P overlay network for this purpose. This protocol allows to define so-called Usages for applications to work on top of this overlay network. The CoAP Usage for RELOAD is, therefore, a way for CoAP based devices to store their resources in a distributed P2P overlay. Although CoAP Usage for RELOAD is an important step towards the federation of sensor networks, in the particular case of IoT there will be consistency and efficiency problems. This happens because the resources of CoAP devices/Things can be in multiple data objects stored at the overlay network, called P2P resources. Thus, Thing resource updates can end up being consuming, as multiple P2P resources will have to be modified. Mechanisms to ensure consistency become, therefore, necessary. This thesis contributes to advances in the federation of sensor networks by proposing mechanisms for RELOAD/CoAP architectures that will allow consistency to be ensured. An overlay network service, required for such mechanisms to operate, is also proposed.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractNum futuro próximo, a maioria dos nossos dispositivos do dia-a-dia estarão acessíveis através de uma rede e serão identificados de forma única para poderem interligar-se através da Internet. Este novo paradigma, conhecido hoje por Internet das Coisas (IoT), já está a começar a influenciar a nossa sociedade e está agora a impulsionar desenvolvimentos em inúmeras áreas. Teremos milhares, ou mesmo milhões, de dispositivos restritos que utilizarão protocolos padrão que foram desenvolvidos de forma a cumprir determinadas especificações associadas a este tipo de dispositivos, especificações essas que têm a ver com o facto destes dispositivos terem normalmente restrições de memória, pouca capacidade de processamento e muitos possuirem limitações energéticas. Surgirá ainda a necessidade de interligar, de forma fiável e escalonável, redes de dispositivos restritos.(…)pt_PT
