Abstract

Developing the TCP/IP standard IBA which is higher organization of IETF decided to attach the TCP/IP protocol stack to small things, such as sensor. This means small object is also considered as on of the communication node, it has symbolic meaning that expand smart object has all five layer. Under this background, IoT/WoT configure the intelligent network between objects based on the internet to communication was introduced. Things has own IP address on IoT environment and are smart object that a lot of people communicate over the internet on Application Layer. In other words, IoT is that smart object are commercialized space. According to the interest of IoT, IETF establish CoAP for use as IoT protocol. CoAP is expected that standard protocols created by things is connected to the Internet protocol that can be used within a constrained environment. Accordingly, in this paper, we proposed Middleware API that can manage and collect the data of objects that connected CoAP network.

TCP/IP 표준을 개발하는 IETF의 상위 기구인 IAB는 작은 사물에도 TCP/IP protocol stack을 붙이기로 결정했다. 이는 하나의 작은 사물도 하나의 통신 노드로 인정하여, 이를 다섯 개의 전 계층이 올라간 스마트 오브젝트로 확장하겠다는 상징적인 의미를 가진다. 이러한 배경 아래서 등장한 것이 웹을 기반으로 사물 간 지능적으로 네트워크를 구성해 통신하는 IoT/WoT이다. CoAP는 제한된 환경 내에서 사용할 수 있는 프로토콜로 사물이 인터넷에 연결될 것을 예상하여 만든 표준 규약이다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 CoAP 네트워크가 구축된 환경에서 CoAP와 연결되어 관련 사물들의 데이터를 수집하며 관리할 수 있는 Middleware API를 제안하고자 한다.
