Internet of Things: Hardware and Software Solutions

Building Internet of Things software with ELIoT

We present ELIOT, a development platform for Internet-connected smart devices. Unlike most solutions for the emerging “Internet of Things” (IoT), ELIOT allows programmers to implement functionality running within the networks of smart devices without necessarily leveraging the external Internet, and yet enables the integration of such functionality with Internet-wide services. ELIOT thus reconc...

Software-Engineering the Internet of Things

ENIAC WAS BUILT during the Second World War, from 1943 to 1945. Many consider it the rst electronic, general-purpose, large-scale digital computer. Picture it as a room encompassing 36 racks, three printer panels, a card reader, and a card punch. Each rack used hundreds of vacuum tubes to perform a speci c function. Many racks acted as accumulators: they received pulses corresponding to the dig...

Software Engineering for the Internet of Things

➟ the IoT’s major software engineering challenges: high reactivity, scalability, heterogeneity, configurability, resource-constrained systems, and robustness; ➟ software methods and development techniques for the IoT (including agile methods, other new development approaches, and specific tradeoffs); ➟ software architectures dealing with complex interactions, interoperability gaps, and data min...

Blockchain in internet of things: Challenges and Solutions

The Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing exponential growth in research and industry, but it still suffers from privacy and security vulnerabilities. Conventional security and privacy approaches tend to be inapplicable for IoT, mainly due to its decentralized topology and the resource-constraints of the majority of its devices. BlockChain (BC) that underpin the cryptocurrency Bitcoin have b...
