Summary

This project studies ways to approach the notion of composition in IoT.

Description

One approach develops a ‘CPS algebra’ based on a formal language that offers the expressive power needed to capture the observable behavior of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) components, and at the same time offers a way to express the notion of composition of CPSs. 

A second effort extends the in-network capabilities of Named-Data Networking (NDN) to enable on-the-fly composition of resources.  A Composition Domain Specific Language (C-DSL) is proposed as a solution to express the composition using the power of NDN naming.
 

Major Accomplishments

  • Definition Composition Domain Specific Language for IoT
