RoCoSys: A framework for coordination of mobile IoT devices

Abstract

Mobile IoT devices enable new classes of systems, such as cyber-physical systems. These systems pose challenges as they should seamlessly interact with users and other systems. In this paper, we address the problem of interaction between mobile pervasive IoT devices. Our contributions are threefold. First, we present a concept for a framework for coordination of mobile IoT devices. Second, we implement a reusable robot platform using the Mindstorms toolkit and a customizable adaptation logic for their coordination based on our framework. Third, we show its usability with two applications: an intelligent vehicle highway system as well as a smart vacuum cleaner.
