IoT (Internet of Things) systems are based on heterogeneous hardware systems of different types of devices interconnected each other, ranging from miniaturized and low-power wireless sensor node to cloud servers. These IoT systems composed of heterogeneous hardware utilize data sets collected from a particular set of sensors or control designated actuators when needed using open APIs created through abstraction of devices' resources associated to service applications. However, previously existing IoT services have been usually developed based on vertical platforms, whose sharing and exchange of data is limited within each industry domain, for example, healthcare. Such problem is called 'data silo', and considered one of crucial issues to be solved for the success of establishing IoT ecosystems. Also, IoT services may need to dynamically organize their services according to the change of status of connected devices due to their mobility and dynamic network connectivity. We propose a way of dynamically composing IoT services under the concept of WoT (Web of Things) where heterogeneous devices across different industries are fully integrated into the Web. Our approach allows developers to create IoT services or mash them up in an efficient way using Web objects registered into multiple standardized horizontal IoT platforms where their resources are discoverable and accessible. A Web-based service composition tool is developed to evaluate the practical feasibility of our approach under real-world service development.

Recent advances in medical science have made people live longer, which has affected many aspects of life, such as caregiver burden, increasing cost of healthcare, increasing number of disabled and depressive disorder persons, and so on. Researchers are now focused on elderly living assistance services in smart home environments. In recent years, assisted living technologies have rapidly grown due to a faster growing aging society. Many smart devices are now interconnected within the home network environment and such a home setup supports collaborations between those devices based on the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the major challenges in providing elderly living assistance services is to consider each individual's requirements of different needs. In order to solve this, the virtualization of physical things, as well as the collaboration and composition of services provided by these physical things should be considered. In order to meet these challenges, Web of Objects (WoO) focuses on the implementation aspects of IoT to bring the assorted real world objects with the web applications. We proposed a semantic modelling technique for manual and semi-automated service composition. The aim of this work is to propose a framework to enable RESTful web services composition using semantic ontology for elderly living assistance services creation in WoO based smart home environment.

최근 들어, 웹 서비스와 연동을 통해 생체정보 모니터링 서비스를 제공하기 위한 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 의료정보전송 표준인 ISO/IEEE 11073 PHD에서는 ISO/IEEE 11073 에이전트와 ISO/IEEE 11073 매니저간의 생체정보 교환을 위해 비 IP (No-Internet Protocol) 기반의 최적화된 교환 프로토콜인 ISO/IEEE 11073-20601을 정의하고 있다. 이러한 ISO/IEEE 11073-20601을 이용한 비IP 기반의 시스템 구조는 사물인터넷 기반의 원격 생체정보 모니터링 서비스를 제공하는 데 적합하지 않다. 왜냐하면, 사물인터넷 기반 U-헬스케어 서비스에서 원격지의 IP가 탑재된 생체정보 측정 장치들을 관리 및 제어할 수 있는 기능을 지원하기 어렵기 때문이다. 게다가, ISO/IEEE 11073-20601에서 정의하고 있는 ACSE와 CMDISE는 구조적인 복잡도로 인해 구현하기 어렵고 복잡하기 때문에 사물인터넷 기반의 U-헬스케어 서비스를 제공하는데 적합하지 않다. 이러한 기존의 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 사물인터넷 기반의 생체정보 모니터링 서비스를 제공하기 위한 사물인터넷의 ISO/IEEE 11073 DIM/REST 기반 생체정보 모니터링 구조를 제안한다. 이를 위해 사물인터넷 기반 생체정보 모니터링 시스템 구조를 설계하였고, ISO/IEEE 11073 에이전트와 ISO/IEEE 11073 매니저간의 ISO/IEEE 11073 DIM/REST 기반의 메시지 교환 프로토콜을 설계하였다. 제안된 시스템 구조의 실현 가능성을 검증하기 위해 서비스 프로토타입을 구현하였다.
