The need for Standards.
Even though the scientific community
gave multiple contributions to the deployment and standardization
of IoT and Cloud paradigms, a clear necessity of
standard protocols, architectures and APIs is being demanded
in order to facilitate the interconnection among heterogeneous
smart objects and the creation of enhanced services, which
realize the CloudIoT paradigm [52]. In particular Mobile-toMobile
(M2M) is a leading paradigm, but there is a very little
standardization for it. Hence the several existing solutions use
standard Internet, cellular, and Web technologies. Moreover,
the state of the art lacks domain specific environments for rapid
development and efficient CloudIoT service delivery. Indeed,
most architectures proposed at the initial stage of IoT either
have come from the WSN perspective or are based on Cloud
at the center.
