Abstract
IoT systems have progressed from toy to commercial scale, encompassing hundreds of heterogeneous networked devices in buildings, industrial settings, and cities. Their complex, hybrid, cross-domain, and evolving nature poses a significant challenge for IoT applications that tend to outlive hardware. We present our efforts to design network protocols and services for large-scale, evolving IoT systems that would make it easier to create reliable applications for such systems. Specifically, we: a) develop a naming architecture for IoT devices that combines device type and location, b) design distributed and federated metadata directory service, c) develop an access control framework with policies that match the physical world.
