Developing Internet of Things applications with FIWARE — Everton Cavalcante

Le laboratoire Samovar accueille Everton Cavalcante (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte) le 15 novembre 2018 à 13h15, pour une présentation intitulée Developing Internet of Things applications with FIWARE.

La conférence aura lieu à 13h15 dans la salle G09 du
campus d’Évry de Télécom SudParis, et est ouverte à tous.
Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) environments are characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity of devices and network protocols. Many IoT platforms have been proposed in the last years by both academia and industry aiming at dealing with such a heterogeneity, promoting interoperability, easing application development, and coping with important requirements within IoT. Among those existing platforms, FIWARE (https://www.fiware.org/) is an open, generic platform developed in the European Community and used in many successful cases related to IoT applications in several scenarios. This platform provides a set of specifications available through open interfaces, as well as generic functional components, the so-called generic enablers (GEs). As FIWARE meets a wide range of relevant requirements for IoT platforms and it provides extensible, reusable components to ease application development, it becomes an interesting option to be adopted in this context. This talk will provide an overview of the FIWARE platform, besides specially focusing on the components intended to support context management and IoT application development.
