The Smart-M3 Platform: Experience of Smart Space Application Development for Internet of Things

Efficient resource utilization in the Internet and in appearing Internet of Things (IoT) environments needs “smart applications”. They operate over shared resources of the computing environment to construct services sensitive to the users and their needs. Smart spaces support services that actively involve surrounding digital devices and Internet services. In this paper, we consider the Smart-M3 platform—an open source solution for creating smart spaces with ontology-driven information sharing. This study makes a next step for evolving smart space application development. We systemize the key properties for application development using Smart-M3 in IoT settings. The properties are analyzed on selected use cases, covering such emerging IoT application domains as collaborative work and e-Tourism. Our experimental evaluation confirms the applicability of analyzed solutions for today’s computing environments.
