Sharing user IoT Devices in the Cloud

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) surrounded a range of technologies that enable the interconnection of various devices, from everyday objects to more advanced networked systems. The IoT model is continuously expanding the number of devices owned by individuals. Similar to the concept of social networks, IoT-based social networks would enable users to share devices, which could provide valuable information captured by sensors or allow remote actions to be performed on user devices. This paper introduces an IoT- focused social device network built on a Cloud computing model, which offers a virtual execution environment due to its decentralized structure, high reliability and accessibility anytime, anywhere. The paper outlines an approach that simplifies the reuse of widely distributed IoT resources by creating services on top of them. These services are then used to build applications, which are deployed on service platforms hosted in the Cloud, ensuring secure access to the data shared by these devices while maintaining compliance.
