Abstract
A software framework is a reusable design that requires various software components to function, almost out of the box. To specify a framework, the creator must specify the different components that form the framework and how to instantiate them. Also, the communication interfaces between these various components must be defined. In this paper, we propose such a framework based on the Internet of Things (IoT) for developing applications for handling emergencies of some kind. We demonstrate the usage of our framework by explaining an application developed using it. The application is a system for tracking the status of autistic students in a school and also for alerting their parents/care takers in case of an emergency.
