The Internet of Things (IoT) and related future networking concepts promise the ubiquitous availability of data. Applications can aggregate and evaluate relevant sets of data, and they can provide highly flexible, context-aware services, which can interact with each other and form a new type of emergent behavior.
The first part of the story has already become reality. Sensors, aggregating current values as well as data storages providing, historical information emerge wildly around us in terms of computational capacity and data quantity. But did we already achieve the goals from an application and coordination point of view? Traditional system solutions simply use fixed firmware, whose data and control flows are statically configured. The IoT devices transmit their data periodically or event-driven to a database, that serves the requests of the applications. With embedded systems, this is made even more difficult by the fact that a statically linked firmware is used, so that the chance to receive function and security updates is low. It will no longer be valuable to restrict IoT systems to such static behavior, thus new methods, models, and algorithms are necessary in order to ensure functionality, resiliency, and security.
The workshop addresses current research related to the implementation and realization of future IoT applications and systems. Particular focus is put on concepts, tools, and the toolchain, that is required for this endavor. Furthermore, flexible right management, capability and performance profiles, and request evaluation for dynamically composed IoT settings will be targeted. We want to discuss how to realize abstract representations of these aspects in order to automatically react on adapted requests, changed network configurations, or system states.
