Demonstration Abstract: IoTSuite - A Framework to Design, Implement, and Deploy IoT Applications

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) application development is technically challenging and complex due to several factors such as the presence of different IoT protocols, interoperability issues, lack of industry standards and dealing with the heterogeneity that exists both in Physical and Internet worlds. Furthermore, developers involved in the IoT application development have to address issues pertaining to different life-cycles ranging from design, implementation to deployment (deployment complexities due to the possibilities of wide range of devices). Manual effort involved in all above three phases for heterogeneous devices is a time-consuming and error-prone process. We demonstrate IoTSuite which is an application development platform consisting of a suite of tools motivated by the need to simplify IoT application development. The IoTSuite supports several features such as automatic code generation and integration with a set of modeling languages. It takes high-level specification as input that abstract heterogeneity related complexity. It integrates compiler and deployment module to provide automation at different phases of application development process.
