Abstracting IoT Complexity Through an Innovative Virtual Environment

Background: While smart objects are present in our cities everywhere, the real aim of the Internet of Things is not turned into reality yet. Each smart object is still designated to a specific task and requires proprietary procedures for interaction. Thus, it becomes more necessary to have a connection platform for abstracting the complexity of smart objects and to present their data to the end-users through a simpler interaction procedure.
