Towards low-effort development of advanced IoT applications
Ilse Bohé, Michiel Willocx, Jorn Lapon, Vincent Naessens · 2021
Building customised IoT applications is often labor intensive. While several frameworks support developers in building sophisticated applications, they mainly focus on the communication with the underlying devices and their automation. Modular programming may further improve the reuse of components in other applications. However, integrating automatic device configuration, connection management, and user support for solving connectivity issues, remains a real endeavor for application developers. Likewise, integrating and enforcing policies in an IoT application is complex, and the dynamic nature of IoT systems makes it even more difficult to develop applications that properly handle changes in the environment.
