Following recent advances in sensing and wireless technologies, Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications are being exploited in various fields. The scale of IoT systems and the number of devices that they include has become huge, and the construction of IoT applications is, therefore, becoming increasingly challenging. This work proposes a script framework as a convenient development interface for service-oriented architecture (SOA) scheduling of web-based information of IoT applications, called ScriptIoT, which is composed of the IoT fundamental in case of all type of devices integration and a scriptable agent. Based on the IoT fundamental class, various IoT devices may be developed and the scriptable agent enables IoT applications to be configured using scripts. The proposed ScriptIoT framework, which offers both polling an event-driven mechanism for delegating IoT applications to the agent and reporting event of the specified device, contributes to large-scale applications. Experiments herein reveal that in the proposed ScriptIoT framework, the access time and CPU loading are slightly greater than those achieved using traditional C programming by 3% and 13%, respectively, but the proposed framework exhibits improved flexibility and scalability.
