Event Handling Mechanism based on Active Rule for Internet of Things

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents an approach, called IECA, for modeling and implementing the architecture of Internet of Things(IoT) applications using an active rule-based model. Considering the effective collaboration and the quick response which are necessary for IoT information sharing and service provisioning, a common and extensible IECA execution environment is constructed to integrate the advantages of publish/subscribe paradigm and event-driven architecture. A formal definition is proposed for the IECA. The results show that the IECA-based IoT applications can easily be designed and developed, while enabling an efficient management by the IECA execution engine.
