The merger of the Internet of Things (IoT) with cloud computing has given birth to a Web of Things (WoT) which hosts heterogeneous and rapidly varying data. Traditional access control mechanisms such as Role-Based Access schemes are no longer suitable for modelling access control on such a large and dynamic scale as the actors may also change all the time. For such a dynamic mix of applications, data and actors, a more distributed and flexible model is required. Token-Based Access Control is one such scheme

Knowledge management in resource-intensive and big data applications involving multiple parties where collaboration is a pre-requisite to the successful operation of the system remains a topic of much-needed innovation, especially in the wake of growing resource-intensive applications such as disaster management and smart environments. Analysis of existing literature reveals the growing need to tackle the issue of unified data dissemination. Where this issue has been given some focus, the outreach has been
