Group communication with OBIX for the Internet of Things and a scripting-free control logic editor: paper accepted at WF-IoT2014

Based on the communication stack presented in the previous post it is possible to design a process data exchange that can be compared to KNX in which a group communication is used to denote a shared network variable that allows a group of devices to exchange process data. By doing so it is possible to create a simple control logic editor that wires together the basic data points of OBIX objects which represent physical devices or control logic objects.

The scripting-free control logic editor will be presented within a poster session at the upcoming IEEE World Forum on the Internet of Things, which will take place in Seoul, South Korea in March 2013. It is the first paper that emerged within the scholarsihp period and the support of the IPA is well-acknowledged in the last section of the paper:

The prototype implementation of the group communication and the scripting-free control logic editor are provided already in the open source project.
