Abstract: This thesis studies the issues on building and managing future Internet of Things (IoT)
systems. IoT systems consist of distributed components with services for sensing, processing,
and controlling through devices deployed in our living environment as part of the global
cyber-physical ecosystem.
Systems with perpetually running IoT devices may use a lot of energy. One challenge is to
implement good management policies for energy saving. In addition, a large scale of devices
may be deployed in wide geographical areas through low bandwidth wireless communication
networks. This brings the challenge of con
