Internet of Things (IoT) networks composed of a large number of sensors and actuators generate a huge volume of data and control commands, which should be enforced by strong data reliability. The end-to-end data reliability of IoT networks is an essential industrial enabler. Blockchain technology can provide strong data reliability and integrity within IoT networks. We designed a lightweight end-to-end blockchain network that applies to common IoT applications. Its enhanced modular architecture and lightweight consensus mechanism guarantee its practical applicability for general IoT applications. In addition, the proposed blockchain network is highly software compatible because it adopts the Hyperledger development environment. Directly embedding the proposed blockchain middleware platform in small computing devices proves its practicability.

A power-saving mechanism for smartphone devices is developed by analyzing the features of data that are received from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors devices to optimize the data processing policies. In the proposed GreenIoT architecture for power-saving in IoT, the power saving and feedback mechanism are implemented in the IoT middleware. When the GreenIoT application in the power-saving IoT architecture is launched, IoT devices collect the sensor data and send them to the middleware. After the scanning module in the IoT middleware has received the data, the data are analyzed by a feature evaluation module and a threshold analysis module. Based on the analytical results, the policy decision module processes the data in the device or in the cloud computing environment. The feedback mechanism then records the power consumed and, based on the history of these records, dynamically adjusts the threshold value to increase accuracy. Two smart living applications, a biomedical application and a smart building application, are proposed. Comparisons of data processed in the cloud computing environment show that the power-saving mechanism with IoT architecture reduces the power consumed by these applications by 24% and 9.2%.

Recently, IoT applications are being deployed in Smart TVs, and these IoT applications are using smart TVs as application platforms rather than broadcast platforms. With the advent of Hybrid broadcast technologies, now it becomes available to develop IoT applications which are coupled to the broadcast information. However, the existing IoT services are not suitable for Hybrid broadcast application since they are built on cloud and require various protocol implementations. In this paper, a Fog Computing-based architecture for hybrid broadcast application is proposed. Instead of accessing IoT services from hybrid broadcast app directly, the proposed architecture places Fog Applet Server between them and distribute loads of hybrid broadcast app to the Fog Applet. The proposed architecture is implemented as a service to control IoT device with hybrid application.

As IoT applications that provide AI services increase, various hardware and software that support autonomous learning and inference are being developed. However, as the characteristics and constraints of each hardware increase difficulties in developing IoT applications, the development of an integrated platform is required. In this paper, we propose a tool for automatically generating components based on artificial neural networks and spiking neural networks as well as IoT technologies to be compatible with open platforms. The proposed component automatic generation tool supports the creation of components considering the characteristics of various hardware devices through the virtual component layer of IoT and AI and enables automatic application to open platforms.

Internet of Thing (IoT) computing is an environment where various devices with sensors and actuators are connect, and interact together to acquire contexts and provide useful services. With the advances of IoT technologies, its usability becomes an in important issue. However, there exist various types of faults in IoT computing which are not conventionally addressed in software research community. Providing reliable IoT services is challenging. In this paper, we present a hierarchy of IoT faults and analyze causes and symptoms of the faults. Based on the analysis, we define effective methods for managing IoT faults. We believe that our proposed framework for managing IoT faults can be utilized in reducing the development cost of IoT applications and enhancing the quality of the applications.

With the recent advances in communication technology and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, home automation systems have emerged as a new paradigm for providing users with convenient smart home services. The IoT ecosystem has merged digital systems with the physical world, dramatically changing the way people live and work. However, at the same time, security remains one of the most significant research issues in IoT, as the deployment and application of high-availability systems come with various security risks that cause serious threats to users. Among them, the security issues arising from the interaction among devices/applications should not be underestimated. Attackers can exploit interactions among devices/applications to hack into the user's home. In this paper, we present a survey of research on detecting various types of interactions among devices/applications in IoT.

Internet-of-Things(IoT) is the computing environment to provide valuable services by interacting with multiple devices, where diverse devices are connected within the existing Internet infrastructure and acquire context information by sensing. As the concern of IoT has been increased recently, most of the industries develop many IoT devices. And, many people are focused on the IoT application that is utilizing different technologies, which are sensor network, communication technologies, and software engineering. Developing on-ground IoT application is especially even more active in progress depending on increasing of on-ground IoT devices because it is possible for them to access dangerous and inaccessible situation. However, There are a few studies related IoT. Moreover, since on-ground IoT application, which is different from typical software application, has to consider device's characteristics, communication, and surround condition, it reveal challenges, decreasing reliability. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze reliability challenges related to maturity and fault tolerance, one of reliability attributes, occurring in developing on-ground IoT applications and suggest the effective solutions to resolve the challenges. To verify proposed the challenges and solutions, we show result that is applying the solutions to applications. By presenting the case study, we evaluate the effectiveness of applying the solutions to the application.

Internet of Things (IoT), one of the emerging research areas, is the computing paradigm where various things connect to the network and cooperate with their neighbors to reach common goals. Computing with IoT devices opens up a new array of opportunities for providing value-added smart services and applications to end users. That is, IoT devices play an important role of providing useful services to the users. However, the states of IoT devices are dynamically changed at runtime, which come from their mobility, network connectivity, and a battery drain problem. This dynamism results in difficulties in managing these IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a framework to manage those IoT devices with dynamism. Hence, we first derive issues from IoT devices' dynamism. And, we define a set of requirements to manage the IoT devices and present a framework to manage the device dynamism. The framework is equipped by a device discovery method, a device status monitoring method, a device selection and connection method, and a device replacement method. Finally, we verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework through experiments.
