Abstract

The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) leads to new challenges in registering and binding billions of devices. Performed manually, the necessary tasks are time-consuming and error prone, which brings the need for automation. The Resource Management Platform (RMP) provides automated services from the binding of devices to the provisioning of their data. However, the devices need to be registered manually. Thus, this thesis extends the RMP with an automated discovery service, which allows the RMP to discover and register devices using different communication technologies, like WiFi or Bluetooth. Moreover, the work includes a monitoring mechanism, which enables the RMP to automatically deregister unavailable devices. Furthermore, modern smartphones have extended sensing capabilities reaching from positioning to environmental parameters. However, mobile operating systems do not allow access to the internal sensors from outside the phone. Thus, this work describes an Android application, which can be used to integrate smartphones into the RMP.
