Future Internet: the Connected Device Interface Generic Enabler
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: The panacea of application development is the ability to create a single application and deploy it on a range of mobile and traditional computing platforms. Web technology has offered the possibility of common programming environment for application developers across a range of platforms, however this common environment has not been realised. Rather various web runtime platforms have emerged, Tizen, Webinos, PhoneGap, and Firefox OS, each one offering a web technology based developer environment but with different APIs. This still requires applications to be ported between web runtime environments. Several solutions to face the Internet heterogeneity exist, but none of them proposes a holistic and standardizable approach to interface the connected devices to the network. In this work we present a Future Internet enabler called Connected Device Interface (CDI) proposing a unified and extended set of APIs counting on both best available standard solutions as well as completely novel functionalities. The CDI architecture is analysed in detail, its API set is described and an instance implementation is presented.
