Our paper on RapidIoT is out 🙂 You can find it here https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2018.02.030 RapIoT is a software toolkit that facilitates the prototyping of IoT systems. Our solution abstracts low-level details and communication protocols, allowing developers non-expert in IoT to focus on application logic, facilitating rapid prototyping. RapIoT supports the development of collaborative applications by enabling Read more about Finally out![…]
Enabling Internet of Things (IoT) development for non-experts and end-users is the impetus behind Daniel Satcher’s research. This effort is part of a series of projects involving TILES, an IoT toolkit that provides a common set of hardware components, application infrastructures, and interaction primitives (how users tangibly interact with the TILES hardware) in order to Read more about Daniel Satcher on Enabling IoT Development[…]
Anders Riise Mæhlum is currently working with the TILES project for his Master thesis. The Internet of Things, or IoT, is growing rapidly in popularity, and many toolkits for developing IoT applications are emerging. The TILES toolkit developed for the TILES project is one such toolkit, providing tools for rapid prototyping of IoT applications using Read more about Anders Riise Mæhlum on TILES and the Internet of Things[…]
