An energy-aware web of people and things, events of interaction & complex interaction of events

The continuous evolution of computing and networking technologies is creating a new world populated by many sensors on physical and social environments. At the same time, these applications are also mission-critical with serious quality of service requirements such as real-time performance, continuous availability, high security and privacy. Pu argues that the traditional process-oriented programming languages and software architectures should be augmented by distributed event-based facilities and abstractions for the construction of large-scale distributed IOT applications [4]. Bohli et al. state in one of their theses: The value of the IoT market grows more than linearly with the number of consumers . This thesis inherently assumes the value of 'connectedness' of the network [1]. One supporting experience with 'connectedness' that follows such thesis in a favourable way is with social networks, e. g. facebook, twitter etc [2]. Scharmen argues similarly from more abstract view that spaces, physical, virtual or physical-virtual are just culture containers, for people to present, curate, mediate via these interconnections [5].
