Abstract

Today, smart environments require attention from the network level for connecting devices to the application level for adapting their behavior to continuously changing environmental conditions. Just as a smartphone can choose between using mobile internet or a WLAN connection, IoT applications that manage smart environments must know how to establish relationships among heterogeneous devices. However, establishing connections and relationships between devices may require many manual actions from both the application developer and the user. In this paper, we propose two new layers that can make programming IoT applications more intuitive and convenient for the software developers and enable them to leverage the various connectivity types. These new layers, Social Layer and Situational Context Layer, are crosscutting with IoT-A layers, complement many of the existing IoT architectures and, in addition, to take advance of the ever-growing set of devices and their resources around the user in their applications easily.
