Devify: decentralized internet of things software framework for a peer-to-peer and interoperable IoT device

This paper addresses the issue of current Internet of Things (IoT) development---the decentralized IoT model---in a manner of a peer-to-peer network and interoperable IoT devices. This paper proposes a new IoT software architecture, the Devify software framework, to address the peer-to-peer IoT network and the interoperable IoT device development. Besides, the work also shows through experiments that an IoT application server can simply use the flow-based programming (FBP) paradigm to define the application as a data exchange network. Therefore, the software architecture also provides such FBP runtime environment for writing IoT application servers.
