A Proposal for Application Discovery in the Context of IoT

In this paper we discuss some drawbacks of IoT in relation to reuse of applications. The studied approaches do not propose a repository for cataloguing applications or tools for discovering IoT applications for reuse. The purpose of this research is twofold: (i) propose a repository model to catalogue IoT applications, and (ii) present a tool for discovering IoT applications for reuse. The goal is to enable the search and reuse of existing solutions to avoid rework and to facilitate the development of applications for IoT. Based on the proposed approach, a proof of concept was implemented by means of a prototype. For the discovery process, a version of a k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbor) algorithm was adapted to use both Euclidean and Levenshtein distances. This was necessary due to descriptor types required to identify the applications. The prototype was applied to a case study with promising results, pointing out the usefulness of this proposal.
