A Study of Standardization for Management of Internet of Things

[[abstract]]物聯網(IoT)在我們的生活環境中已隨處可見，由於各項實作技術的進步，IoT設備類型功能以及數量也越來越多，隨之而來的是眾多異質設備間的通訊與管理問題。近年來，許多技術聯盟針對IoT通訊問題提出解決方案，但由於IoT涵蓋範圍過於廣泛，目前無論採用哪一種方法，都無法滿足再多廠商環境所有設備的通訊與管理需求。本論文提出一套結合AllSeen聯盟的AllJoyn平台與Internet網管標準SNMP能夠兼具IoT通訊與管理功能的系統架構，並考慮到現有未支援AllJoyn或有硬體限制之IoT設備，提出一套可擴充的解決方案，使現有設備能夠加入現有管理系統內。本論文並依此系統架構，實作兩款未支援AllJoyn的感應器設備納入管理系統，成功地被AllJoyn與SNMP所識別，並能以網頁式介面進行遠端監控。[[abstract]]Internet of Things (IoT) has become popular in our daily life. With the advancement of IoT implementation technologies IoT, a number of IoT devices with various sensor functions are released. How these IoT devices communicate with each other and how to manage them effectively are two new important issues. In the recent years, many organizations propose solutions for enabling unified communication between IoT devices. However, due to the various types of IoT devices and their different applications, adopting a single solution cannot completely solve the problems in IoT communication and management. In this paper, we propose an IoT management framework based on the AllJoyn platform and SNMP. The AllJoyn platform, proposed by the AllSeen Alliance, is used for IoT communication. SNMP, the current Internet network management standard, is used for the management of IoT devices. Considering the lack of AllJoyn support or constrained resources in current IoT devices, this paper further proposes an extensible solution for managing heterogeneous IoT devices in one system. Two sensors are successfully included in the management system via an extensible gateway. Through AllJoyn and SNMP, the two sensors can be monitored remotely via a web interface.[[note]]碩
