Research Directions in Database Architectures for the Internet of Things: A Communication of the First International Workshop on Database Architectures for the Internet of Things (DAIT 2009)

摘要

This paper is a record of the First International Workshop on Database Architectures for the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things refers to the future internet which will contain trillions of nodes representing various objects from small ubiquitous sensor devices and handhelds to large web servers and supercomputer clusters. The workshop investigated a number of areas appertaining to data management in the Internet of Things from storage structures, through database management methods, to service-oriented architectures and new approaches to information search. Running orthogonal to these layers the matter of security was also considered. Taking a philosophical viewpoint our whole current framework for understanding data management may be ill-equipped to meet the challenges of the Internet of Things. The workshop gave participants the chance to discuss these matters, exchange ideas and explore future collaborations.
