Abstract

In order for IoT application developers to deliver on the promise of IoT, new tools and methodologies addressing the challenges associated with development of highly distributed systems running on non-reliable and heterogeneous hardware are required. Some of the main characteristics of cloud computing that has been a driving force for its success, are resource pooling, elasticity and the capacity for combining unrelated services. We believe that a similar approach is needed for IoT as well. In this paper, we show how Calvin, an open source peer-to-peer platform for distributed applications, tackles many of the problems inherent in IoT. By only loosely associating the functionality of a device with a semantics, and having implementations based on conventions rather than pre-defined terminology, it is possible to let a system of Calvin runtimes autonomously handle deployment decisions, and respond to changing requirements. We will discuss how to develop and deploy dynamic and adaptive IoT-applications based on capabilities and requirements, and how to resolve requirements by automatically combining information from multiple sources based on encapsulated domain knowledge.
