Michael Haus, Aaron Yi Ding, Pan Hui, Jörg Ott · 2017
Managing IoT devices in urban areas is becoming crucial because the majority of people living in cities and the number of deployed IoT devices are steadily increasing. In this demo, we present iConfig, an edge-driven platform dedicated to manage densely deployed IoT devices in smart cities. Our goal is to address three challenging issues in current IoT management: registration, configuration, and maintenance. The core of iConfig is its programmable edge module, which can be deployed across smartphones, wearables, and smart boards to configure and interact with physically proximate IoT devices. Our system evaluation shows that iConfig can effectively address the aforementioned IoT management challenges by harnessing mobile and edge cooperation.
