description
From the software development perspective IoT is about programming "things", connecting them with each other and integrating them with existing applications. This presentation will demonstrate how IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into a workflow of a business application. You'll see a live demo of using commercial consumer devices as a part of an application that utilizes such technologies such as REST API, OAuth, Websockets, and Java. This presentation will give you an idea of how to go about integration of new devices as they become available on the market.

Things are Sensors, IoT - Connected Sensors
Yesterday’s Sensors
• 18 years ago. Telephony.
• I’ve been programming IoT!
• Do I want to program sensors again?
Today’s Sensors
SCIO: a molecular sensor that scans physical objects and receives instant information to your smartphone.

How to get involved with IoT?Going after thousands of vendors of things?
Which protocols: MQTP, XMPP, CoAP?
Buy Raspberry Pi or Arduino?
Learn HomeKit and HealthKit from Apple?
How to get involved with IoT?
Creating an exensive cloud-based IoT platform
How to get involved with IoT?
Create custom-made solutions integrating things into an existing
business workflow.
Why?

Manual Data Entry
Enterprise IoT is about automation of collecting and processing data required in
the business workflow.
What we’re working on
• integrating consumer devices into insurance business workflow
• leveraging existing software technologies
• creating a standard-based application layer that connects things
Things Oriented Middleware (TOM)
• Build a layer in the middle of things.
• Use consumer things in enterprise applications. "
• Side benefit: being in the middle allows having valuable data for analisys.

OAuth: Authorization Check Delegation
The OAuth Workflow• My company builds an app to use the thing’s API (e.g. with REST )
The OAuth Workflow• My company builds an app to use the thing’s API (e.g. with REST )
• My company registers the app with the thing’s vendor and receives an id and a secret.
The OAuth Workflow• My company builds an app to use the thing’s API (e.g. with REST )
• My company registers the app with the thing’s vendor and receives an id and a secret.
• The thing’s owner opens my app and logs into thing’s vendor site.

What’s WebSocket• Standardized full-duplex low overhead protocol.
• Client-side API: Web browsers come with window.WebSocket object.
• Server-side API: we use Java EE 7 servers
What about security?• We don’t deal with security between the thing and its
vendor.
• Our apps are as as secure as any other app that uses OAuth/REST services.
