Abstract
Internet of things as a market, and the number of connected devices in particular is growing very rapidly. Currently, application owners deploy new devices for each application that needs the data. As the number of sensors increases, it will become much more practical to reuse existing sensors for new applications than to deploy new ones. But the problem is that the application owner needs to agree with device owners on conditions under which will the data be made available to applications. Doing this manually is very expensive both in terms of money and time. We implemented a system that does this automatically using negotiating agents. The system was tested on simulated environments and showed that it can mediate between devices and applications with reasonable performance.
