Self-Adaptive Requirements-Aware Intelligent Things

Intelligent things are autonomous smart objects capable of decision making. They are operating within the Internet of things (IoT), a rapidly changing environment consisting of a huge number of connected heterogeneous devices. Such an environ ment necessitates self-adaptive ability that is driven by requirements satisfaction. Adaptation is performed on the level of services and is fu lly autonomous. In addition, requirements should also drive the connections among intelligent things and other (intelligent and non-intelligent) devices in the network. The main aim of th is position paper is to propose a seamless adaptation and association process of intelligent things, based on premise that human intervention is minimized if not excluded entirely.
