Tackling Wireless Sensor Network Heterogeneity Through Novel Reconfigurable Gateway Approach.

Without Gateways comprise critical cornerstones for a wide range of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and IoT application scenarios. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to present a novel Gateway able to effectively address all heterogeneity aspects. Additionally, a critical objective of the proposed Gateway is offering advanced features facilitating the dynamic, run time service management. Aiming to offer a comprehensive solution all important aspects are presented in detail while a real-world evaluation is provided. The latter, is achieved by integrating the implemented solution with a real CPS infrastructure enabling (i) hands on proof of concept concerning heterogeneity support and offered features and (ii) realistic performance evaluation.
