“…This shift in computing paradigm would unlock the potential for the next-generation software architecture, analogously to how the Web-based software development communities enjoyed the mainstream n-tier architecture that was made popular in the last decade [13]. Business processes operated in such an IoWT-enabled setting should be geared up to best harvest the mobility and IoT data-driven connectivity to keep people connected purposefully for firefighting, collecting fast-food orders, medical treatment, to name just a few [14], [15].…”

A wearable is a lightweight body-worn device that relies on data-driven communications to keep people connected purposefully, for instance, for fire-fighting, prompting fast-food clients, and medical treatment. With rise of wearable computing in the era of IoT-driven smart applications, programmers now expect the time to market for these devices to be shortened. While support for IoT programming in general has gathered traction, tool proposals that automate the development of smart solutions based on the Internet of Wearable Things, though of paramount importance, still stay on the sidelines. We propose a code generation tool called Micraspis that allows a wearable to be described both functionally and architecturally -as if they are two sides of the same coin. The tool has an underlying model-to-code transformation mechanism to generates source code that is executable on a specific IoT programming platform such as Arduino. Our experiments demonstrate that programming code generated by Micraspis amounts to at least 60% of the source code needed to fulfill the business logic of ordinary wearable devices. We conduct an interview to meticulously collect programmers' assessment on how Micraspis assists them in programming and architecting smart IoT wearables. A total of 161 programmers responded to a Likert scale questionnaire, with which at least 65% of them either agree or strongly agree. Overall, the results show that Micraspis has promising applicability in supporting IoWT-enabled smart solutions.

“…In the literature, several concepts are emerging on combining IoT and BPM, e.g., monitoring running processes to align them with the state of physical devices and objects [12][13][14][15]. Still, there are many open challenges to be tackled [16][17][18].…”

Business processes are frequently executed within application systems that involve humans, computer systems as well as objects of the Internet of Things (IoT). Nevertheless, the usage of IoT technology for system supported process execution is still constrained by the absence of a common system architecture that manages the communication between both worlds. In this paper, we introduce an integrated approach for IoT-aware business process execution that exploits IoT for BPM by providing IoT data in a process-compatible way, providing an IoT data provenance framework, considering IoT data for interaction in a pre-defined process model, and providing wearable user interfaces with context-specific IoT data provision. The approach has been implemented on top of contemporary BPM modeling concepts and system technology. The introduced technique has evaluated extensively in different use cases in industry.
