Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) and the related technologies have changed the users’ perspective of remote service utilization. Internet of Things is a network of billions of smart and connected devices, which expose their functionality in the form of sensing or actuation services. Currently, applications utilize those services to cater to the user’s needs. However, a user’s requirements are always changing which cannot be efficiently fulfilled by the domain specific applications. We propose the idea of using Business Process Modeling approach in order to enable the user to model their required processes based on the atomic services exposed by IoT devices. The approach requires no programming skills on behalf of the users so it can be used as a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tool for the creation of IoT based processes. This article presents the architecture and detailed design of the proposed system.
