This kind of analysis has not yet been performed for IoT projects. Hence, in this paper we start this exploration through the analysis of four Open Source IoT projects. We focus our attention on architectural debt and we exploit a tool, called Arcan, developed for architectural smell detection and for the computation of an architectural debt index. The results show that also IoT projects are subjected to architectural debt, and in particular to the presence of Cyclic Dependency and Unstable Dependency smells. However, there is evidence that the continuous refactoring of the code helps in avoiding the increase of debt, hence also developers of IoT projects should schedule periodical clean-ups of their code.","PeriodicalId":131447,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Practices for the IoT (SERP4IoT)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131285915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although these patterns are often described based on well-accepted common description forms such as the Gang of Four (GoF), Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA), and Canonical forms, IoT patterns occasionally adopt a unique description form to capture IoT-specific aspects. Such heterogeneity in the description makes it difficult to understand, compare, apply, and verify various IoT patterns in systems and software development processes. To mitigate these issues and provide recommendations on IoT pattern descriptions to the IoT and pattern communities, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the descriptions of the 61 IoT patterns described in 18 papers identified by a systematic literature review. We first analyzed the description forms and sections currently adopted in IoT patterns. We found that about a quarter of IoT patterns are immature and are not well described. Of the well-documented IoT patterns, almost half adopt common pattern forms. “Related Pattern (See also)” is the most used section followed by “Problem” and “Solution.” The high number of adoptions of “Related Pattern” indicates that many IoT patterns can be utilized to constitute large solutions. Then we identified IoT-specific description sections as well as commonalities and differences compared with other types of patterns. “Inspired by” is used to specify general patterns as a basis of the target IoT pattern. A comparison between IoT and security patterns showed that “Problem,” “Solution,” “Related Patterns,” and “Known Uses” are identified as typical sections, whereas “Consequences” is less familiar to IoT pattern descriptions. The IoT and pattern communities should further investigate IoT patterns’ usefulness in IoT systems and software development as well as identify missing IoT-specific aspects to be documented.","PeriodicalId":131447,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Practices for the IoT (SERP4IoT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130173523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, developing IoT-based systems has been found to be a complex process. As a consequence, the development of these systems becomes more error-prone, time-consuming and costly. ESP (ESP8266 and ESP32) is one of the preferred micro-controllers for education, industrial projects, and prototyping. Arduino, a well-known firmware, is used in ESP which makes it easy-to-use. However, learning the device-specific configurations, using network features, and implementing IoT applications for ESP on the Arduino platform are still burdensome and time-consuming tasks. Raising the abstraction level can help to decrease the complexity and address this problem. To this end, in this paper, a model-driven approach is proposed for the development of Arduino-based programmable ESP micro-controllers. First, a meta-model is designed for the Arduino-based ESP micro-controllers. Based on this meta-model, a Domain-specific Language (DSL) is developed to graphically represent the domain models. To gain more functionality for the language, domain rules are defined as constraints. Also, partial system codes are automatically generated from the instance models. In this way, the development of IoT systems based on ESP modules is supported by code synthesis which increases the performance and reduces the number of errors. Finally, a motion-sensitive thief detector and a servo-motor based room temperature control system are implemented to evaluate the proposed DSL.","PeriodicalId":131447,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Practices for the IoT (SERP4IoT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128615322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IoT projects induce an articulation of studies in software engineering to prepare the development and operation of software systems materialized in physical objects and structures interconnected with embedded software and hosted in clouds. IoT projects have boundaries between development and operation stages. This study search for evidence in scientific literature to support these boundaries through Development and Operations (DevOps) principles. We rely on a Systematic Literature Review to investigate the relations of DevOps in IoT software systems. As a result, we identify concepts, characterize the benefits and challenges in the context of knowledge previously reported in primary studies in the literature.

IoT is a rapidly emerging paradigm that now encompasses almost every aspect of our modern life. As such, it is crucial to ensure IoT devices follow strict security requirements. At the same time, the prevalence of IoT devices offers developers a chance to design and develop Machine Learning (ML)-based intelligent software systems using their IoT devices. However, given the diversity of IoT devices, IoT developers may find it challenging to introduce appropriate security and ML techniques into their devices. Traditionally, we learn about the IoT ecosystem/problems by conducting surveys of IoT developers/practitioners. Another way to learn is by analyzing IoT developer discussions in popular online developer forums like Stack Overflow (SO). However, we are aware of no such studies that focused on IoT developers’ security and ML-related discussions in SO. This paper offers the results of preliminary study of IoT developer discussions in SO. First, we collect around 53K IoT posts (questions + accepted answers) from SO. Second, we tokenize each post into sentences. Third, we automatically identify sentences containing security and ML-related discussions. We find around 12% of sentences contain security discussions, while around 0.12% sentences contain ML-related discussions. There is no overlap between security and ML-related discussions, i.e., IoT developers discussing security requirements did not discuss ML requirements and vice versa. We find that IoT developers discussing security issues frequently inquired about how the shared data can be stored, shared, and transferred securely across IoT devices and users. We also find that IoT developers are interested to adopt deep neural network-based ML models into their IoT devices, but they find it challenging to accommodate those into their resource-constrained IoT devices. Our findings offer implications for IoT vendors and researchers to develop and design novel techniques for improved security and ML adoption into IoT devices.","PeriodicalId":131447,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/ACM 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Practices for the IoT (SERP4IoT)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122404586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rushed development by competing vendors to meet the market demand of IoT solutions, the lack of interoperability standards, and the overall lack of a defined set of best practices have resulted in a highly complex, heterogeneous, and frangible ecosystem. Several works have been pushing towards visual programming solutions to abstract the underlying complexity and help humans reason about it. As these solutions begin to meet widespread adoption, their building blocks usually do not consider reliability issues. Node-RED, being one of the most popular tools, also lacks such mechanisms, either built-in or via extensions. In this work we present SHEN (Self-Healing Extensions for Node-RED) which provides 17 nodes that collectively enable the implementation of self-healing strategies within this visual framework.
