      • Managing Enterprise-Scale Internet of Things: From Service Discovery, Access Control, to Command Execution
  • Thesis abstract:
      • Increasingly numerous mundane everyday physical entities (eg, door locks, thermostats, lights, surveillance cameras) are augmented with sensing, actuation, computing, communication and storage resources, transformed into smart objects operated by humans, applications or each other. Though multiple standards at each layer of the IoT stack have been created, they do not meet the functionality and performance demanded by IoT in enterprise environments, due to the context’s characteristics such as large scale, heterogeneity and user churns. In this dissertation, we introduce the solutions addressing three key problems in enterprise IoT: service discovery, access control, and command execution automation.
