Reliable Internet of Things Communication and Service Discover

The Internet of Things is a many vision one paradigm technology that

connects electrical, electronic and non electrical objects around us to provide

seamless communication and contextual services. The smart objects through

heterogeneous communication protocols play an active role in information,

business and social processes. Social Networks is another revolutionary

technology that results in a network of voluminous social interactions and

personal relationships.

The integration of Social Networks and the Internet of Things has led to

a new paradigm known as Social Internet of Things (SIoT). SIoT is defined as

an interconnected social network of smart objects. Objects in SIoT are not only

smarter but also socially conscious. Objects autonomously collaborate with

each other via owners leading to discovery, selection and composition of

services. The Internet is populated with trillions of objects and social network

of objects are prominent solutions to identify, publish services and discover

competent resources to implement the services.

In the recent past, SIoT has opened copious research avenues in the field

of agriculture, logistics, automation, intelligent buildings, transportation etc.

Establishing a SIoT environment has numerous research challenges namely

security, privacy, trust, service management, fault tolerance, energy

management, semantic and context management. Measures and mechanisms to

identify malicious objects, guarantee reliable communication, identify SIoT

communities, efficient service discovery and flexible access of services inside

and outside the SIoT communities are crucial.

This research work guarantee trustworthy collaboration, assures efficient

service/resource discovery among SIoT communities, enable context aware

human activity recognition and assess the user’s perceptiveness about SIoT.
