Through the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Spaces will enable environments to adapt according to users' needs by using smart and connected objects. However, to turn the IoT view into a reality, the users should know about technical details of such objects, which is not a trivial task for most ordinary users. Therefore, this paper presents FoT-Rules, an approach for the construction of semantic rules aiming to create Smart Spaces through Fog of Things, which is a paradigm for Fog Computing in the IoT. FoT-Rules is designed to enable ordinary users to create and execute semantic rules in the Event-Condition-Action standard (ECA) and to take actions at the edge of the network. In this work, we present a scenario where the user can create semantic rules in the ECA standard and, in order to execute these rules at the network edge, FoT-Rules provides the following functionalities: creation of semantic rules; obtaining of the semantic models that contains information related to IoT devices; execution of a semantic reasoner over the semantic model according to the rule created by the user; a semantic observer that is responsible for observing changes in IoT devices; and in case the rule created by the user is activated, an action is taken for an IoT device. Finally, we performed four types of evaluations on our FoT-Rules approach: reliability, efficiency, scalability and usability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
