New services can be developed by combining some of the huge number of heterogeneous devices connected to a network in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, to develop such services, a mechanism is required to detect devices with appropriate attributes such as functions or locations and to communicate with the devices. In this paper, we propose architecture that enables us to communicate with devices that have desired attributes in the IoT world by reducing the size of tables of devices' attributes by distributing the tables over the whole network. Moreover, we quantitatively describe how small the tables can be compared with centralized management at places such as datacenters and then discuss techniques and problems to make distributed tables a reality.
