Considering the management problem for Internet of Things, existing IP-based network management protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the Network Configuration (NETCONF) protocol may possibly be utilized to manage smart objects (the main components in Internet of Things). Based on the thinking of extension indicated by some network management standardizations, this paper tries to introduce Extenics into the study on management of smart objects. This paper proposes a simplified formalization for management of smart objects based on the extension model, and formalizes information, knowledge and policy related to Manager, Agent and Management Information Base (MIB) for management of smart objects by making use of basic-elements, composite-elements, extension transformations, dependent functions and extension sets. The case study of this paper shows that, the proposed formalized framework of Manager, Agent and MIB in the form of information-knowledge-policy for management of smart objects based on the extension model is feasible.
