1. Runtime model based approach to IoT application development Runtime model based approach to IoT application development Frontiers of Computer Science, 2015, 9(4):540–553 Xing CHEN, Aipeng LI, Xue’e ZENG, Wenzhong GUO, Gang HUANG

2. Problems & Ideas Problems: IoT application development is done very close to the operating system and requires programmers to focus on low-level system issues. Ideas: A runtime model based approach to IoT application development. – The management of sensor devices is abstracted as runtime models. – A customized model is constructed according to the personalized application scenario and the synchronization between the customized model and sensor device runtime models is ensured through model transformation.

3. Main Contributions Developers can focus on the management task logic without handling different types of low-level management interface. The difference of performance of using management interfaces and using the runtime model is small and completely acceptable for IoT system management.
