ComPOS: Composing Oblivious Services

Abstract

Future internet-of-things systems need to be able to combine heterogeneous services and support weak connectivity. In this paper, we introduce ComPOS, a new domain-specific language for composing services in IoT systems. We show how Maria, a bird watcher, can use ComPOS to build a system that allows her to spy on birds in the garden while she is not at home. We demonstrate how ComPOS handles the unpredictable nature of IoT system by analysing in what cases Maria's system is still useful when some devices are unavailable.
