Liquid, Autonomous and Decentralized Stream Processing for the Web of Things

摘要

In recent years we have witnessed the rise in number of smart devices and sensors connected through the Web. This led researchers to explore the World Wide Web as a platform to orchestrate such devices. In this demo we show how we are able to harmonize heterogeneous hardware for home automation systems with the Web Liquid Streams (WLS) framework. The WLS framework lets developers implement topologies of data streams across a heterogeneous pool of devices thanks to Node.JS and the Web browser. By using JavaScript, the lingua franca of the Web, we are able to write the stream operators once and run them anywhere a Web browser or Node.JS can run. The demo shows a home automation system application that can seamlessly run on different kind of devices.
