Software Abstraction for Virtualization of Things

Problem

For a larger number of connected embedded devices (things),

it is important to scale the software with some reusable com-

ponents. Also, these embedded devices must not have tight

integration with these software components to make sure

they are loosely coupled and interchangeable.

Solution

This can be achieved by adding a software abstraction layer,

which contains various tools and libraries such as firmware

and middleware to enable devices to connect to the application

layer in a decoupled manner.

Problem

Thing connecting to the network may bring a lot ...
