We argue that the success of Internet Things (IoT) vision will greatly depend on how its main ingredient-the "thing"-is architected and prepared to engage. The IoT's fragmented widevarying nature introduces need for additional effort homogenize these things so they may blend together with surrounding space create opportunities powerful unprecedented IoT applications. introduce Device Description Language (IoT-DDL), a machineand human-readable descriptive language things, seeking achieve such...
The increasing ubiquity of the Internet Things (IoT) has potential to drastically alter way healthcare systems are utilized at home or in a care environment. Smart things offer new ways assist general patient wellness, such as promoting an active and healthy lifestyle simplifying treatment management. We believe smart health bring requirements not typically addressed traditional IoT systems, that architecture targeting these devices must address fully utilize their safe usage. will help...
In this article, we call for a "Walk Before You Run" adjustment in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) research and development exercise. Without first settling quest what thing is or could be do, run risk of presumptuous visions, hypes, that can only fail realities limits actually possible, leading to customers consumers confusion as well market hesitations. Specifically, without carefully-designed Thing architecture place, it will very difficult find "magic" are so addicted accustomed -...
We demonstrate how lay users may program their own smart spaces to create IoT apps with a few clicks on smartphone. present our Atlas Thing Architecture and the Runtime Interactive Development Environment (RIDE) which allow custom based logical functional relationships that tie things available in spaces. also demo Health scenario using personal medical devices mobile as show can develop, install use utilizing these RIDE.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) proliferates, potential for its opportunistic interaction with traditional mobile apps becomes apparent. We argue that to fully take advantage this potential, must become things themselves, and interact in a smart space like their hardware counterparts. present an extension our Atlas thing architecture on smartphones, allowing behave as provide powerful services functionalities. To end, we also consider role app developer, introduce actionable keywords...
The variety and scope of available Internet Things (IoT) devices is constantly increasing, along with the number manufacturers that offer these things. As numbers increase, so does fragmentation ecosystems; either through incompatible means communication operation, or innate dependencies a device's ecosystem (things similar programming interfaces may be tied to different "clouds", rendering them static unable form external interactions). We argue future IoT depends on ability things work...
There is an increasing convergence of IoT features in newly developed health devices, bringing with it both optimism and concern. While these devices have similar connectivity goals to other they do bring critical requirements inherent the digital domain. This includes safety, privacy, reliability, accuracy most importantly user assurance engagement. These are not usually met generalized platforms architectures. In this paper, we take a step back analyze additional constraints that must be...
