Abstract

The Internet of Things is rapidly diffusing and many standalone platforms have been deployed in different domains. Since these solutions are still isolated, the definition of a globally unified platform embracing different and heterogeneous Internet of Things systems is gaining momentum. In the Internet Research Task Force context, the Information-Centric Networking Research Group envisages the possibility to reach this challenging goal by properly leveraging the communication primitives of the Information-Centric Networking paradigm. In line with this vision, this contribution proposes a concrete solution that offers: name-based communication scheme, flexible data delivery, support for heterogeneous network infrastructures, platform interoperability, and technology-independent implementation of high-level applications. Moreover, a proof-of-concept implementation is presented for further describing the main functionalities of the designed approach and demonstrating its correct execution in a real environment.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that these functionalities are very similar to those already provided by Google (or any other search engine) in today’s Internet. Therefore, no further implementation details will be investigated in this paper.
