1 Vol. 11 No. 08 November 2014 Message from Chairman Dr. N. R. ALAMELU Esteemed members, Greetings, Since we are at the dawn of the New Year in few days I take this opportunity to wish all the IEEE members a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year This is the time for all the IEEE members to renew their IEEE membership for the year It is also the responsibility of the branch counselors of the student branches of the section to spread the message of the advantages of IEEE membership, so that the Madras Section gets further strengthened with the new members. The Madras Section of IEEE is the largest section of the R10 of IEEE. Both at the section level and also at the R10 level, the concern is on the retention of membership. To achieve the retention the activities of the branches will have to be innovative, creative and should motivate the students members to make use of the potential and the advantages of IEEE for technical support and also for funding. I am sure all the student branches will be able to continue the membership and the good work done by the them. Best Wishes YOUR AFFECTIONATE OFFICE BEARER IEEE MAS LINK Vol. 11 No.8 Novemberr 2014 Page 1

2 Message from the Editor Dr. S.ARUMUGAM I am happy to write editorial for the November issue. I join with the Chairman in wishing all the IEEE members a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year I request all the members to renew their membership. I request the Stundnt Branch Councillors to renew and add new members and make thier chapter active. I am willing to publish the list of Office beares of all the branches in the news letter. All the branch Councillors can send their list of Office beares for publishing in the news letter.with address and phone number. This will help them to interact with all the branches. I wish to convey my thanks to V.P.Sampath, Ram Innovation Labs, Chennai for sending an article for publication in the news letter.. Dr.S.ARUMUGAM IEEE MAS LINK Vol. 11 No.8 Novemberr 2014 Page 2

3 Microweb of things Open Platform for customized Events V.P.Sampath, Ram Innovation Labs, Chennai Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in both military and commercial use. The challenge to WSNs implementation is source location privacy. The Web of Things(WoT) is the connection between diverse smart devices and objects such as Wireless Sensor Networks, Ambient devices, household appliances, RFID tagged objects, etc.unlike existing Internet of Things-based systems, the Web of Things reuse the web standards to connect embedded devices and smart objects easily. Well-known standards such as URI, HTTP, REST, Atom, etc are used to access the functionality of the smart objects based on web.the WoT-based platform is to provide solution to support diversity of technologies. The platforms should implement variety of protocols to support technologies. Standardization and harmonization of communications exists between sensor and actuator technologies.hence, a WoT-base platform implement a common solution that satisfies particular requirements of context data consumption.µwotop is a system built on enabling easy integration of sensing and processing modules.gateways can run on infrastructure devices or smart phones or tablets enabled as gateways. The design of the micro Web of Things Open Platform (µwotop) is based on an open platform that was initially specified for PCs or servers. Every Smart Gateway implement the IP/TCP protocol stack by default and specific protocols which supports embedded devices plugged directly to the Smart Gateway. Smart Gateways offer a mechanism that facilitates the interaction of smart things each other, as well as among smart things and external entities, by means of well-defined interfaces. The API defined is to access the resources which will be completely public according to the open nature of the µwotop, i.e., HTTP methods, URIs, format of messages and responses will be well documented and accessible for everybody with an Internet connection. The Common Alert Protocol (CAP) for the definition of emergency notifications is related to health events. Figure 1.WoT based Platform IEEE MAS LINK Vol. 11 No.8 Novemberr 2014 Page 3

4 An ARM Cortex-A9 core duo 1.2 GHz and 16 Gb is connected to a private Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at 100 Mbps. A µwotop instantiation runs in a background process. Every generator produces 0.5 event/s that are sent to the Smart Gateway. Event consumers are software components simulating agents that subscribe to events dispatched by the generators. These are defined as outgoing events. They physically run on different user devices (connected to the same WLAN, and they are subscribed to the events generated depending on the type of agent to be simulated by the event generator: health monitoring, notification or ambient. The idea is to include a mechanism to automatically retransmit data when they are lost or an inconsistency is detected. Additionally, we will perform more evaluations in which more than one.smart Gateway are involved in order to design mechanisms to balance automatically the workload. The objective will be to guarantee good Quality of Service levels automatically according to the scalability requirements of the smart space at different points in its life-cycle. K. S. R.
