Design and Development of Application to Transport Layer Protocol for Smart Collaboration of Intelligent Devices

Abstract

There are varieties of smart devices – devices with hardware and significant amount of software to mine data from the hardware in and around us, like in Home we have smart phones, smart TV, Laptops, smart refrigerators, etc. There is a need for each device of different size and capability to collaborate. That brings us to first and most important step of “inter- device communication”, which can be deployed on any device without much further fuss. Simple yet secure channel of communication, which does not require much of computing power or memory is real time in nature and is extensible towards future. The challenge is to develop a simple Application Layer protocol, which uses existing TCP/IP technology to interconnect these devices and enable bi-directional communication, which is minimalistic in terms of size of payloads – data available at each of these smart devices- and will use the WWW (world wide web’s) most versatile tool – XML for making encoding data/information in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable
