Abstract
Cloud computing offers on-demand access to computational, infrastructure and data resources operated from a remote source. This novel technology has opened new ways of flexible resource provisions for businesses to manage applications and data responding to new demands from customers. In the current web application scenario a rapidly growing number of powerful devices join the Internet, significantly impacting on the global traffic volume and foreshadowing a world of smart devices, or things in the Internet of Things (IoT) perspective. This trend calls for an ecosystem that provides means to interconnect and control these devices. In this position paper we envision the integration of IoT into Cloud-enabled scientific workflows to support the proliferation of IoT with the help of cloud technologies. These enhanced workflows will enable the creation and management of user applications that bring clouds and IoT closer to users by hiding the complexity and cumbersome utilization of virtualized resources, data sources and things. The goal of this approach is to ease the lives of users and foster scientific work by engaging the Internet of Things.
