Basically, the goals of the COMPaaS can be summarized as follow: ∙ Abstraction of the integration and interoperation between applications and physical devices through the provision of hierarchical system services according to device profiles (i.e., a set of functional characteristics describing each physical device). ∙ Abstraction of the collection and management of data provided by physical devices through the provision of application-level services. ∙ Provision of high-level services to facilitate the development and integration of IoT applicati...

However, as mentioned in Sect. 3, IoT middleware systems will have to support the requirements imposed by 5G which will result in specific changes to allow the applications requirements demanded by 5G. Figure 4 illustrates a possible system architecture for 5G-based IoT Middleware with two application examples: (a) a “Healthcare Monitoring application” oriented to mission-critical services in a hospital (i.e., a grou...

The aim of 5G is not only about mobile connectivity for people, but also mobile and ubiquitous connectivity for any kind of computing device and applicatio...

Despite the intended definition of a horizontal architecture approach (i.e., a common system approach to manage different application domains or verticals) for IoT middleware has been one of the main requirements by global IoT projects during the last years, the imminent arrival of 5G technology is revealing that current middleware approaches possibly will face some challenges due to new applicati...
