Abstract
The growing improvement in embedded computing, sensing technologies, and connected devices has enabled the advancement of innovative paradigms, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the considerable diversity of devices and, consequently, of protocols that have emerged have made this process difficult. Numerous challenges emerged, such as heterogeneity, interoperability, multiplicity of data representation and services, etc. These challenges have made the development of IoT applications somewhat complex and costly since the capabilities of these devices, protocols, and standards have become device-specific, forcing the developer to come up with complex integration strategies to address these specifications. In this sense, this work proposes a framework, called VIoT, that seeks to facilitate the process of developing IoT applications for heterogeneous environments through device virtualization. The strategy will attempt to abstract the heterogeneous aspects related to the physical devices, which will be represented by a virtualized model, encapsulating the operations common to its protocols and providing a common interface between the real device and the virtualized one, thus reducing, from the developer’s point of view, the effort in implementing applications for these environments.
