There is an obvious interest for the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) with Cloud computing due to mutual benefits generated by the complementarities between these technologies. This interest is illustrated by a large variety of approaches and research and development projects in various IoT specific application domains. The paper provides an overview of Cloud-IoT approaches and specific emerging services enabled by this integration. Then the Sensing as a service model is introduced and current views on its functional configuration are outlined. The main architectural decisions in developing the IoT platform for health monitoring are shortly presented, since the platform is used for the implementation of this model into a project for chronic disease monitoring. Finally the paper details the model requirements in terms of main roles and operation rules to be considered for the next phases of project development.
