SDIoT: A Software Defined based Internet of Things framework

The internet of things (IoT) represent the current
and future state of the Internet. The large number of
things (objects), which are connected to the Internet, produce
a huge amount of data that needs a lot of effort and
processing operations to transfer it to useful information.
Moreover, the organization and control of this large volume
of data requires novel ideas in the design and management
of the IoT network to accelerate and enhance its
performance. The software defined systems is a new
paradigm that appeared recently to hide all complexity in
traditional system architecture by abstracting all the controls
and management operations from the underling
devices (things in the IoT) and setting them inside a middleware
layer, a software layer. In this work, a comprehensive
software defined based framework model is
proposed to simplify the IoT management process and
provide a vital solution for the challenges in the traditional
IoT architecture to forward, store, and secure the produced
data from the IoT objects by integrating the software
defined network, software defined storage, and software
defined security into one software defined based control
model.
