Publicación: Adaptive architecture for transient IoT systems
Autores
Resumen
Adaptation is crucial for the success of IoT systems since these are part of continuously changing environments. Changes may come from different elements of the architecture underlying an IoT system, as modification to services, or inclusion/exclusion of devices. Existing literature pays special attention to changes in the service layer using evolution agents or context-aware approaches to manage adaptations to said changes. In this Tesis, we present eight challenges that developers face when building adaptive IoT systems. Such challenges take into account changes at the service, middleware, and physical layers. These challenges serve us as a research agenda to foster IoT systems. As a starting point, we design an architecture to deal with the posited challenges. Various of the architectural components are inspired on a reference architecture, and complemented by new components to manage dynamic adaptations in response to the identified chal- lenges. We show how the proposed architecture is used to deal with the first two challenges, inclusion of new devices and devices' transient connection through a service matching mechanism. To demonstrate the feasibility of our solution, we use a domain knowledge database matching instance of services with each other. Our results show a higher match precision than existing approaches.
Resumen
"Adaptación es crucial para el éxito de los sistemas IoT, debido a que estos son parte de entornos que cambian de manera continua. Dichos cambios pueden venir de diferentes elementos de la arquitectura que soporta el sistema IoT, tales como modificaciones de servicios o inclusión/exclusión de dispositivos IoT. En este documento se presentan 8 problemáticas de los ambientes IoT, encontrados en las diferentes capas del sistema. Para afrontar dichos problemas, se diseño una arquitectura inspirada en la arquitectura de referencia de IoT. Dicha arquitectura esta enfocada a solucionar la inclusión de nuevos dispositivos y la conexión inestable entre dispositivos y servicios web."--Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado.
