Motivation

Following the global interconnection of people and services through the Internet, the concept of the “Internet of Things” (IoT) has been on the rise with the ambition to digitalize and interconnect everyday objects in many domains of life and work. The great potential of this ambition lies in the holistic networking of the involved entities, i.e., the ability of any device to interact with any other device. 

On the other hand, the increasing number and variety of devices or sensors in the growing IoT world makes it ever more complex to realize and manage such holistic interconnection systems. Available IoT solutions are mostly developed for either small sized platforms or for specific scenarios with a predefined set of sensors or devices, and they are far from providing the dynamic scaling and adaptability required to realize the added value of IoT holistic networking.

Solution

CHARIOT proposes an IoT middleware framework that aims to address the aforementioned issues to highlight the added value of the holistic networking of IoT. Main challenges that are addressed in the project are the interoperability of all entities, representation of various actors ranging from simple sensors to complex devices to humans, a logical orchestration of all services, and learning ability for its entities. Furthermore, easy development and deployment of services are additional important aspects to make the system more modular and therefore more adaptable. CHARIOT enables stakeholders to represent various devices, develop efficient and dynamic services, as well as implement novel applications extracting the added value from the holistic networking provided by the IoT middleware.
