The analysis of the behavior patterns of components (intelligent sensors) in the IoT-oriented internetware
Article No.: 22, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
Nowadays the concept of IoT is blooming, and the front-end of IoT applications, which is made up by intelligent sensors (here we call them mote), can be seen as a kind of Internetware (here we call this kind of Internetware "mote applications"). Therefore, how to develop high-quality mote applications efficiently and provide supporting tools has become a great challenge. Because the quality of an mote application is strongly relevant to the behavior patterns of the mote (a behavior pattern in this work is referenced to a commonly occurring way of performing actions of the mode, which resides in the programming framework, i.e., the code structure of the program, of the mote application), this paper studies how to design behavior patterns for mote applications, which will act as guidelines for implementing programs, to improve the QoS of applications. This paper first summarizes a collection of fundamental behavior patterns which can be often found in mote applications and then analyzes the relationships between quality properties and behavior patterns of mote applications based on a series of experiments. It also demonstrates how to design code structures to realize the expected behavior patterns in mote applications for improving the QoS of mote applications.
