8、based business models. Among those, online advertising is one of the most successful and profitable. Generally speaking, online advertising – also referred to as Internet advertising – leverages the Internet to deliver p

9、romotional contents to end users. Already in 2011, revenues coming from online advertising in the United States alone surpassed those of cable televi</p><p>　　The global spread of mobile devices has also bee

10、n changing the original target of online advertising. This is indeed moving from showing traditional display advertisements (i.e., banners) on desktop computers to the so-called native advertisements impressed within app

11、 streams of smartphones and tablets.More generally, Internet advertising business will eventually extend to emerging pervasive and ubiquitous interconnected smart devices, which are collectively known as the Internet of

12、Things (IoT)</p><p>　　Enabling computational advertising in the IoT world is an under-investigated research area; nonetheless, it possibly includes many interesting opportunities and challenges. Indeed, IoT

13、advertising would enhance traditional Internet advertising by taking advantage of three key IoT features: device diversity, high connectivity, and scalability. IoT device diversity will enable more complex advertising st

15、a use case scenario. Section III and IV articulate key background concepts. In Section V, we propose our vision of an IoT advertising landscape; in particular, we characterize the main entities involved as well as the in

16、teractions between them. Section VI outlines the key challenges to be addressed for successfully enabling IoT advertising. Finally, we conclude in Section VII.</p><p>　　II.AN EXAMPLE OF AN IOT ADVERTISING SC

17、ENARIO: IN-CAR ADVERTISING</p><p>　　Connected smart vehicles are one of the most dominant trends of the IoT industry: automakers are indeed putting a lot of effort to equip their vehicles with an increasing

18、set of computational sensors and devices.</p><p>　　With millions of smart vehicles going around – each one carrying possibly multiple passengers – automobiles are no longer just mechanical machines used by p

19、eople to move from point A to point B; rather, they are mobile, interconnected, and complex nodes constituting a dynamic and distributed computing system. This opens up new opportunities for developers who can leverage s

20、uch an environment to build novel application and services. In particular, smart vehicles – in fact, passengers traveling on</p><p>　　Assume a family of three is traveling in their smart car; their plan is t

21、o drive to a seaside destination a few hours away from their home and spend the weekend there. To do so, they rely on the GPS navigation system embedded in their car. Bob is actually driving the car; he is a forty-five y

22、ears old medical doctor and he likes Cuban food. Alice – Bob’s wife – is forty and an architect. She is really passionate about fashion design and shopping. Sitting in the back of the car, Charlie – their so</p>&

23、lt;p>　　Suppose these travelers are about to cross a city where an iconic summer music festival takes place. Interestingly, an emerging rock band is going to perform on stage the same evening. Festival promoters have a

24、lready advertised that event through analog (e.g., newspapers and small billboards) and digital (e.g., the city’s website) channels. However, they would also like to take advantage of an IoT ad network to send more targe

25、ted and dynamic sponsored messages, namely to reach out to possibly in</p><p>　　Assume Charlie gets an advertisement on the music app installed on his smartphone, and he convinces his parents to stop to atte

26、nd the concert. Other similar advertising messages might be delivered to Alice and Bob as well. For example, Alice could be suggested to visit the city’s shopping mall on her dedicated portion of the car’s head-up displa

27、y. Furthermore, the eye-tracking sensors installed in the car could detect that Bob is getting tired, as he has been driving for too long. Therefore, Bob</p><p>　　We propose an IoT advertising platform that

28、behaves as an intermediary (i.e., a broker) between advertisers (the festival promoters), end-users (Alice, Bob, and Charlie), and possibly publishers, the same way well-known ad networks do in the context of Internet ad

29、vertising. Note though that in IoT, several entities can play the role of “publisher”, which is not limited to a single web resource provider, but it may be a composite entity with several IoT devices. As such, the autom

31、ned slots on their web pages to display ads. On the other hand, advertisers compete for taking those slots and are keen on paying publishers in exchange for that. Actually, publishers often rely on third-party entities –

32、 called ad networks – which free them from running their own ad servers; ad networks decide on behalf of publishers which ads should be placed in which slots, when</p><p>　　At the heart of online advertising

33、, there is a real-time auction process. This runs within an ad exchange to populate an ad slot with an ad creative. For each ad request, there are multiple competing advertisers bidding for that ad slot. And, before any

34、ad is served, publishers and advertisers outline a number of ad serving requirements, such as budget, when the ad should be displayed as well as targeting information. In particular, targeted advertising allows to delive

36、 publisher (i.e., a service provider) who exposes some “service” to the user (e.g., a web content provider like cnn.com or a web search engine like Google or Yahoo); the advertiser who wants to promote its products and p

37、ossibly attract new customers by leveraging the user base of the publisher; the ad network that participates </p><p>　　IV.IOT KEY FEATURES</p><p>　　The IoT stack is normally described as a four-

38、layer infrastructure. The first layer defines how the smart physical world (e.g., networked-enabled devices, devices embedded with sensors) interact with the physical world. The second layer is in charge of providing the

39、 necessary connectivity between devices and the Internet. Further, a third layer incorporates data aggregation and other preliminary data processing. Finally, the fourth layer is in charge of feeding the control centers

40、and providing </p><p>　　Connectivity: A crucial element in IoT is the high connectivity required among devices, servers, and/or service control centers. Indeed, high-speed connectivity is necessary in order

41、to cope with real-time applications and the level of cooperation expected from IoT devices. Currently, IoT connectivity is guaranteed by traditional network protocols and technologies like WiFi, Bluetooth Smart, and Devi

42、ce-to-Device (D2D) communications. IEEE and the IETF are designing new communications protocols s</p><p>　　Resource availability: This defines the amount of computing resources available to implement IoT ser

43、vices. In general, IoT devices can be categorized into two groups: resource-rich, with faster CPUs and higher memory availability and resourcelimited devices, with limited memory and low-performance CPUs. Note that the w

44、ay IoT devices interact with users (e.g., display availability, user-input enabled devices, etc.) depends on the available resources.</p><p>　　Power consumption: The nature of IoT applications imposes severa

45、l power constraints on the devices. In general, IoT devices are meant to be remotely monitored, autonomous, wearable, and/or with high mobility. These characteristics define the specific power restrictions for every appl

47、e different IoT architectures need to be scalable to handle the constant flow of new devices and the always increasing set of new services and applications.</p><p>　　V.A VISION FOR AN IOT ADVERTISING LANDSCA

48、PE </p><p>　　The ultimate aim of IoT is to provide new applications and services by taking advantage of the IoT features discussed above. Different from the simplistic approach of utilizing traditional legac

51、 is clearly inspired by the Internet advertising architecture, IoT advertising has its own peculiarities, and therefore, deserves a dedicated infrastructure to be successful. Our IoT advertising model consists of three l

52、ayers, each one composed of several entities: the bottom layer (IoT Physical Layer) contains physical IoT devices; the middle layer (IoT Advertising Middleware) coincide</p><p>　　In the remaining of this sec

54、wn products/services such as the music festival promoters in the use case discussed above. It is expected to interact with other actors of the advertising ecosystem in the same way web advertisers do on traditional Inter

55、net advertising. Due to the high diversity of devices involved, the IoT advertiser needs to conceive and design its campaign for heterogeneous targets, i.e., newer ad formats, which are not nece</p><p>　　B.I

56、oT Ad Network and IoT Ad Exchange</p><p>　　The IoT ad network, in combination with the IoT ad exchange will be responsible for matching the most profitable ads with target IoT publishers on behalf of both th

59、 a web resource provider anymore. An IoT publisher can rather be thought of an ensemble of IoT devices, which collectively cooperate to implement and expose to the user multiple functionalities, as well as to deliver adv

62、a single IoT publisher entity to the upper-layer advertising ecosystem. On the other hand, it is responsible for dispatching and delivering advertisements coming from advertising ecosystem down to physical IoT devices, a

63、nd in turn, to the end user. To achieve both those capabilities, the IoT advertising coordinator makes use of several subcomponents. Among those, we foc</p><p>　　VI.CHALLENGES OF IOT ADVERTISING</p>&

65、ure (see Section IV) has several challenges that need to be addressed. IoT device heterogeneity will add an extra burden to the IoT advertising coordinator. The coordinator would need to deal with different memory, CPU,

66、energy, and sensor availability and capabilities, so the right advertising strategy is chosen for every device and user while keeping the required efficiency and reliability of services. Moreover, IoT can be configure<

68、ery challenges will defy the capacity of the IoT devices to cope with the requirements of the proposed IoT advertising scheme in two main aspects:</p><p>　　1)Quality and quantity of available user data: Diff

69、erent levels of data obtained from the user will create user-based digital signatures (i.e., user profile) with different quality levels. Also, different permission policies can impact negatively on the quality of users’

70、 activity/location tracking processes.</p><p>　　2)Device capabilities: In cases where IoT device cooperation is not possible, the delivery of the advertisement content to the user will be exclusively defined

71、 by the device capacity. For instance, the amount of advertisement content that the user can get from devices with visual capabilities is expected to be higher.</p><p>　　C.Security and Privacy Challenges<

72、/p><p>　　Integrating IoT into the traditional advertising model poses security challenges for customers, advertisers, and publishers. Some of the security challenges that need to be overcome are the following:&

74、ent.</p><p>　　?Sensitive user data needs to be protected not only from outsiders, but also from malicious corporations that can misuse it.</p><p>　　?Users are not always aware of security risks

75、and a lot of effort needs to be done on the educational side.</p><p>　　?Current and new communication protocols incorporate state-of-the-art protection mechanisms, but, in most cases, security is optional an

76、d these protocols are insecure in default mode.</p><p>　　?The high level of interconnection in the IoT opens creates more opportunities for malware and worms to spread over the network.</p><p>　

77、　?Advertisements should not become intrusive for user privacy nor disrupt the user experience of the surrounding IoT environment.</p><p>　　Traditionally, Internet advertising has compromised user privacy by

78、tracking people’s browsing habits. IoT advertising would go further by tracking user behavior based on day-today activities. Here, dataveillance becomes more valuable considering that IoT user data is much more diverse i

79、f compared with regular web browsing data.</p><p>　　D.Fragmentation of IoT</p><p>　　Currently, there is not a single inter-operable framework that integrates all IoT devices and services. In fac

80、t, despite the efforts to design dedicated protocols for IoT, the current IoT ecosystem offers several options for developers to write smart apps using a variety of different programming architectures (e.g. SmartThings,

81、OpenHAB, and Apple Home Kit). Also, multiple combinations of standards and protocols are possible (e.g., Communications: IPv4/IPv6, RPL, 6LowPAN, Data: MOTT, CoAP, AMPQ, </p><p>　　E.IoT Data Flow</p>

82、<p>　　Data flow in IoT highly depends on the programming architecture. There are few cases where smart apps run on specific IoT devices or hubs; however, most of the IoT apps are cloud-based. Smart apps obtain infor

83、mation from the smart devices (sensors) and send data to the cloud to execute the app logic. External web programming tools like IFTTT and Node-RED can also be integrated into the IoT architecture to connect, control, an

84、d request information from different devices. The integration of these </p><p>　　VII.CONCLUSIONS</p><p>　　Internet advertising market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars and is one of the f
