Attribute based Discovery Architecture for Devices in Internet of Things (IoT)
Shachi Sharma · 2019
A device discovery architecture based on attributes characterizing devices in heterogeneous and dynamic environment of internet of things (IoT) is proposed. The attributes can be physical or logical. A new probabilistic flood search algorithm is also presented that allows to find devices in distributed environment. The algorithm automatically discovers queried device in the network choosing optimal path. The attribute based discovery architecture is protocol agnostic and hence can be implemented on top of any network layer protocol. As a proof of concept, an implementation of the attribute based discovery architecture with a probabilistic flood search algorithm is discussed. Some preliminary results are also presented that demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed architecture.
