IoT Application Deployment Using Request-Response Pattern with MQTT

Abstract

As IoT devices become more powerful they can also become full participants of Internet architectures. For example, they can consume and provide RESTful services. However, the typical network infrastructures do not support the architecture and middleware solutions used in the cloud-based Internet. We show how systems designed with RESTful architecture can be implemented by using an IoT-specific technology called MQTT. Our example case is an application development and deployment system that can be used for remote management of IoT devices.
