Middleware service for connedcting different IoT Data Management Systems : Smart Room

Abstract:  Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most thriving areas in software engineering in the recentyears. IoT is present in everyday activities as well as in various industries. IoT Data ManagementSystems (IoT DMSs) are one of the most important part of IoT as they process and control data insmart environments. This thesis work is focused on researching various IoT DMSs to gain moreknowledge and get familiar with this topic. The main goal is to develop a software that acts as amiddleware and supports multiple IoT DMSs and find out which techniques are suitable for finishingthis task successfully. The literature review was conducted and multiple IoT DMSs were researchedand their strength and weaknesses were identified. In addition to that, a software was developedin a form of web application with the capabilities to connect multiple IoT DMSs. This softwaresupports communication and data processing between four different IoT DMSs. Smart room lablocated on M¨alardalens University was used and connected to this software in combination with allthe devices and sensors that are connected in the Smart Room lab. The knowledge this researchprovides is useful to developers and users to use smart environment more efficiently. This area ofsoftware engineering (Internet of Things) has no limits and there are a lot of things that can bedone to improve it and make the full use of it.
