A process-aware goal description language for the Internet of Things community computing environments

Abstract

This paper proposes an abstract language for describing process-aware goals to be accomplished by collaborative smart-objects communities over the Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The proposed abstract language is based upon the process-driven IoT-community computing model that is derived from a conceptual integration of the process-aware collaborations and the standardized IoT framework announced via the ITU-T SG13 Y.2060. We assume that a group of collaborative smart-objects communities can be built-up statically, dynamically, or autonomously and their process-aware goals can be specified and achieved adaptively over an IoT-based community computing environment. We also strongly expect that the proposed abstract language will deliver us a meaningful means in specifying and achieving adaptive process-aware goals of the IoT-based communities formed in a ubiquitous computing society.
