Academics and several industry segments have been working over the past years to make this vision possible. It is estimated that there will be dozens or hundreds of devices simultaneously connected to the user’s network (e.g., in their home) in the next years, which can make the discovery and interaction with smart object more complicated to IoT users increasingly. This work proposes a smart objects discovery approach using image recognition, which aims to make this task quicker and more selective from an user perspective. An initial assessment has shown that the proposed mechanism can reduce the discovery time in a scenario with several devices, and additionally ensure a good level of user satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":314723,"journal":{"name":"Anais Estendidos do XXIV Simpósio Brasileiro de Sistemas Multimídia e Web","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124334438","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}

Some libraries and APIs help developers to create CAM applications, such as the Google Awareness API. However, the initial configuration, the write of context-aware rules, and code readability persist being complex tasks, specially for beginner developers. This paper proposes an approach to ease the development of CAM applications using Awareness API. Our proposal, called EasyContext, includes a Web Configurator and an Android Framework, which hides code complexity and the Awareness API configuration. A PoC using the EasyContext is also presented.","PeriodicalId":314723,"journal":{"name":"Anais Estendidos do XXIV Simpósio Brasileiro de Sistemas Multimídia e Web","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133260201","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}
