Abstract
This paper focuses on the final stage of a new approach to manage automatic federations of smart objects (SOs) or smart mobile devices. This new approach models each smart object federation as a catalytic reaction. Each reaction is modeled as an RNA (RiboNucleic Acid) replication with or without a regulation switch in the biological world. Thus, it is possible to describe a complex scenario as a catalytic reaction network where the result of a reaction, i.e. the result of a federation, may work as a source material for another reaction or as a catalyst to enable or disable another reaction. The SOs that we want to federate are called application smart objects. To each application SO, we attach an NSO (Nucleotide SO) of its corresponding type as its tag. The reaction process federate those tag NSOs, but not the application SOs they are attached to. Once the NSOs are federated, the context of the reaction can send them a program to connect the application SOs directly with each other. In this paper, we propose a solution to generate the rules composing such a program. We also briefly present a proof of concept of our system through its implementation with Sun SPOT devices.
