In such large scale environments, a critical issue is how to discover the available resources in a scalable manner. For this purpose CoAP Usage for RELOAD, a generic self-organizing P2P overlay network service, has been proposed to be used as a lookup service, to store available resources and as a cache for sensor data. However, such approach alone does not allow building an aggregate resource hierarchy, a very relevant issue for an efficient organization of data in future IoT applications. Here we address this issue and propose an architecture incorporating a resource aggregation/disaggregation service.engRELOAD/CoAP architecture with resource aggregation/disaggregation servicejournal article
