Protocol for a Systematic Literature Review on Adaptative Middleware Support for IoT and CPS

This protocol defines the procedure to conduct a systematic literature review on adaptive middleware support for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). The mentioned concepts deal with smart interactive objects which provide a set of services, but they look into the problem from various perspectives. We especially look into middleware design decisions for reactive/proactive adaptations. Following a systematic literature review (SLR) in the selection procedure, we selected 62 papers among 4,274 candidate studies. To this end, we applied the classification and extraction framework to select and analyze the most influential domain-related information. In addition to the academic database, we took advantage of the use-cases provided by our industrial partners within the CPS4EU 2 project. This document clarifies the primary studies' selection process. The analysis of the studies, discussion, and solution proposals will be presented separately in a journal article

Service-oriented context for pervasive applications

International audiencePervasive applications raise major challenges in term of software engineering and remain hard to develop, deploy, execute and maintain. Context-awareness, in particular, is a salient and difficult property that must be met by pervasive applications. We have developed a service-based approach facilitating the design and execution of a context module on top of iPOJO/iCasa, our pervasive platform. This demo will illustrate our approach on diverse applications developed with the Orange Labs in the health domain

Autonomic Service-Oriented Context for Pervasive Applications

International audiencePervasive computing promotes environments where smart, communication-enabled devices cooperate to provide services to people. Due to their inherent complexity, many pervasive applications are built on top of service-oriented platforms, providing a set of facilities simplifying their development and execution. In this paper, we present such a platform, iCasa, extended with an autonomic, service-oriented context module. This module is programmed with a domain-specific service-oriented language built on top of iPOJO, the Apache service-oriented component model. It is validated on smart home applications developed with the Orange Labs
