The trend towards implementing applications supporting the “Internet of Things” (IoT) concept is allowing the discovery of amazing new opportunities that current technologies could bring to us. Previous efforts have shown the challenges yet to be solved. Research for increasing the capabilities of the IoT is being conducted under various paradigms and analyzing different approaches for finding useful ways to implement valuable applications under the IoT concept. This paper proposes a framework based on a MultiAgent Systems Paradigm, which is an accepted form for modeling and implementing applications that are strongly related real-world concepts. The idea behind the proposal is to simplify the development of applications in the IoT which could perform complex tasks in a distributed environment.
