This paper discusses about the uncluttered matters that are to be represented before the worldwide reception of these technologies including CoAP, TinyOS . There are tons of open matters to discourse. Here it addresses the most appropriate amongst them in detail. General Terms Internet of Things Keywords TinyOS, CoAP, Ubiquitous Computsing, Contiki, RESTful services 1. INTRODUCTION The term (IoT) Internet of Things has been in trend for somewhat a few years. In this situation, it is achieving ground with the development of advanced wireless technology. The simple concept of this notion is the existence of a range of objects – for instance NFC, RFID, sensors, mobile phones, actuators, etc. which, from distinctive addressing structures, are capable to communicate with each other.[2] When IoT concept came into being, (RFID) Radio-frequency Identification seem like to be essential for Internet of Things (WIKIPEDIA, 2013), but in consequence there are a lot of fresh technologies accessible in the market. Technologies like Near Field Communication (NFC), Vehicular-to-Vehicular communication (V2V), RFID and Machine-to-Machine Communication (M2M) are present in the markets that are used to apply the modern thought of IoT. On well-known acceptance of various technologies of IoT, the life of the impending user can turn into very comfy and harmless. According to fact of personal use, the most predictable influence of IoT is observable in native scope. Just like, assisted © 2016, IJCSMC All Rights Reserved 772 Chaitanya Mankar et al, International Journal of Computer Science and Mobile Computing, Vol.5 Issue.3, March- 2016, pg. 772-775 living, smart homes, smart cars etc. are dormant areas in which IoT assistances in broadening the living standard of a single person. According to business user viewpoint, the influence of this cool technology is perceptible in service and manufacturing industry like more production, higher quality and improved services. 2. Literature Survey 2.1 2010- Internet of Things: A Survey AUTHORS: Luigi Atzori, Antonio lera, Giacomo Morabito, [2]This paper points the Internet of Things. Foremost allowing aspect of this promising hypothesis is the combination of quite a few technologies and transport network elucidations. Identification and tracing technologies, wired and actuator networks and wireless sensor, distributed intelligence and enhanced communication protocols (common with the Next Generation Internet), for insolent objects are just the most significant. Such as one can simply imagine, several thoughtful contribution to the headway of the Internet of Things must certainly be the product of coactive deeds led in diverse fields of knowledge, for instance social science, electronics, informatics and telecommunications. In that difficult consequence, this survey is focused on those who need to tackle this composite strictness and contribute to its progress. Various visions of this Internet of Things prototype are reported and allowing technologies revised. Aforementioned to our work, maximum work has been done on IoT for nearly two decagon years. The ultimate idea stanches from the late 1980s as pervasive computing [9] and ubiquitous computing. The loction Internet of Things (IoT) came into sight in the late 1990s, and has been meticulously studied from numerous facets as conferred by Atzori et al in [2]. 2.2 2005- T-Engine: Japan’s Ubiquitous Computing Architecture Is Ready for Prime Tim AUTHORS: Jan Krikke Japan is gently putting itself for the next stage in digital technology: ubiquitous computing. A signal of things to originate is T-Engine, disputably the most advanced ubiquitous computing stand in the world. T-Engine empowers the dispersal of software resources, containing middleware technologically advanced on T-Kernel, its dense, real-time operating system. Platform moreover features systemize hardware and inviolable network security. T-Engine empowers developers to speedily construct ubiquitous computing elucidations by means of off-the-shelf elements. From them are four standard T-Engine panels of wavering dimensions for numerous application areas: Nano T-Engine, Standard T-Engine, Pico T-Engine and Micro T-Engine. 2.3 2005- TinyOS: An Operating System for Sensor Networks AUTHORS: P. Levis, S. Madden, J. Polastre, R. Szewczyk, K. Whitehouse, A. Woo, D. Gay, J. Hill, M. Welsh, E. Brewer, and D. Culler This paper gives TinyOS, a pliable, Model-oriented operating system for sensor networks that form a core piece of atmospheric intelligence systems. That Sensor networks contains of (theoretically) many thousands petite, low-power nodules, each of which attain simultaneous, responsive programs that essentially function with power constraints and formidable memory. The sensor network challenges of event-centric concurrent applications, low-power operation and limited resources drive the design of TinyOS. Solution in this paper integrates pliable, fine-grain modules with an execution model that stand complex nonetheless safe synchronized processes. TinyOS meets up with these challenges in good health and has turn out to be the stage of choice for sensor network exploration; it is in practice by more than a hundred groups worldwide, and sustains a wide-ranging applications and research topics. Here, it provides a qualifiable and quantifiable appraisal of the system, displaying that it carry complex, parallel programs with efficient (numerous applications come within 16KB of memory, and the basic OS is 400 bytes) and very low-slung memory necessities, low-power procedures. It presents the experiences with TinyOS as a stage for sensor network origination and applications. TinyOS [4] is a service-oriented operating system platform for wireless sensor nodules. It is modularized to be a squeezed (less than 400 bytes) to be utilized on resource restricted sensor network nodules like [16] Mica with 128KB of flash ROM and 4KB of RAM. As a consequence of the capability for such resource-restricted nodules, TinyOS has been utilized by numerous examiners as the simple platform for sensor network, and ample middleware and countless applications have been technologically advanced up until at this time. That embrace but not restricted to networking (e.g., [5]), database (e.g., [6]), and security (e.g., [7], [8]), all of them are beneficial in building IoT applications on sensor nodules. Alike talk can be prepared on Contiki [3], that was progressed to be as a sensor network operating system and currently disseminated as an openly accessed operating system for the IoT. This is equipped with so many middleware and good libraries for the IoT like [11], those are suitable for IoT application creation. Even though Contiki make available multi-thread provision called protothread, its processes are very bounded in limit and surplus voluminous important characteristics that model-oriented operating systems ensure. © 2016, IJCSMC All Rights Reserved 773 Chaitanya Mankar et al, International Journal of Computer Science and Mobile Computing, Vol.5 Issue.3, March- 2016, pg. 772-775 2.4 2004- Contiki- a Light weight and Flexible Operating System for Tiny Networked Sensors AUTHORS: Adam Dunkels, Bjo¨rn Gro¨nvall, Thiemo Voigt, Wireless sensor networks are self-possessed of many tiny schmoosed devices that interconnect untethered. For outsized networks it is essential to download code at run-time into the network. In this paper there is Contiki, a superficial operating system with support for run-time replacement and loading of separate services and programs. Contiki is made nearby an action-driven kernel but arranges for optional preemptive multithreading which can be exerted to singular processes. Here in this paper, it shows that run- time loading and unloading is achievable in a resource restricted environment, however keeping the immoral system superficial and squeezed. 2.5 1995- Constrained Application Protocol for Low Power Embedded Networks: A Survey AUTHORS: Berta Carballido Villaverd , Dirk Pesch , Rodolfo De Paz Alberola, Szymon Fedor IPv6 will compel it probable to arrange for Internet connectivity to whichever device. In the same line, Web technologies will make managing, visualizing and communicating any data given by these devices eye-catching to the application developers and end users.

Also I would like to consider the good working environment created by my co-workers in GTI researh group. Finally, thanks to my virtuous and tireless master’s degree teammates. Vigo, July 20, 2021 iii Abstract The exponential growth of connected devices as well as massive data generation are challenging well-established technologies such as Cloud Computing. The Big Data paradigm for inferring knowledge and predicting results supports the sensorisation of environments in all areas (social, business, environmental, etc.) to obtain more information for the training of artificial intelligences or machine learning models. The need for low latency and high throughput applications in sensor networks is driving the emergence of new computational paradigms and network architectures. Real-time systems in which decision-making is critical, such as autonomous driving or the management of automated processes by robots in Industry 4.0, cannot adapt their needs to Cloud Computing. Other paradigms such as Mist Computing or Fog Computing are emerging in response to these needs to evolve actual computing architectures. This paper introduces some of the proposals that, in contrast to the classical structure of centralised data processing in the Cloud, advocate for a distributed architecture that brings the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum.
