Frameworks
IoT frameworks might help support the interaction between “things” and
allow for more complex structures like distributed computing and the
development of distributed applications. Currently, some IoT frameworks
seem to focus on real-time data logging solutions, offering some basis
to work with many “things” and have them interact. Future developments
might lead to specific software-development environments to create the
software to work with the hardware used in the Internet of things.
Companies are developing technology platforms to provide this type of
functionality for the Internet of things. Newer platforms are being
developed, which add more intelligence.
REST is a scalable architecture that allows things to communicate over
Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is easily adopted for IoT applications
to provide communication from a thing to a central web server.
