Implementing an Integrated Development Environment in the Internet of Things Generation of Visual Programming Tools MASTER’S THESIS IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING ACADEMIC YEAR: 18/19 IMPLEMENTING AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS GENERATION OF VISUAL PROGRAMMING TOOLS AUTHOR: JOSÉ QUILES ALEMAÑ SUPERVISED BY: DIMITRIS KYRITSIS (EPFL) PRODROMOS KOLYVAKIS (EPFL) LUIS JOSÉ SAIZ ADALID (UPV) Implementing an IDE in the IoT Generation of Visual Programming Tools Implementing an IDE in the IoT Generation of Visual Programming Tools ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “This Master Thesis will probably draw a line under my university life, an amazing journey in which I have had the opportunity to study in different cities such as Elche, Valencia, Prague or Lausanne. A stage in which of course I have worked hard, but especially, a stage in which I have had a really good time; meeting some of my greatest friends, getting to know different cultures, universities, parties and beers of the world, and learning, learning a lot, not only about engineering subjects but also about life. For these reasons, I just can be extremely thankful to all the people (professors, friends, family…) who have been part of this journey that made me better both professionally and personally. In particular, I would like to thank Professor Dimitris Kyritsis for allowing me to develop this thesis in the ICT4SM group at EPFL, making me feel part of his exceptional team. I would also like to mention Prodromos Kolyvakis for his patience, close support and essential collaboration during the development of this project, and Professor Luis José Saiz for his attention, encouragement and helpful advices from Valencia. Por último, quiero dar las gracias a mis abuelos, por haber sido siempre ejemplo de valores fundamentales como la humildad, el trabajo, la alegría o la familia. A mi hermana, por aguantar al pesado de su hermano y ser una mega-crack, no sabe qué hacer con su vida y aun así de lo único que estoy seguro es que haga lo que haga todo le va a ir bien. Y a mis padres, hoy y siempre, por los partiditos de fútbol en el pasillo de medio metro de ancho en Santa Pola, por esos platos espectaculares que solo vosotros podéis llegar a preparar (nótese la ironía), por todas las charlas y discusiones que habremos tenido, por estar ahí cuando yo he estado mal, por habérmelo dado todo… muchas gracias.” 2 Implementing an IDE in the IoT Generation of Visual Programming Tools ABSTRACT The present Master Thesis is directly aligned with the bIoTope project, funded by the European Union, which aims to build an Internet of Things (IoT) open innovation ecosystem that enables companies to easily create IoT systems with minimal investment. In order to contribute to the consecution of this ambitious objective, in this thesis, an implementation of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in a widely used application for connecting smart objects and getting information from them, known as Node-RED, is carried out. To make this possible, it is conducted an in-depth study of the different concepts and technologies needed in the set of development stages: Definition, Building a Python Development Environment based on Skulpt and Implementation with Node-RED. Once the implementation is completed, the new environment is used and tested in different case scenarios, as the Heat Wave Mitigation in Greater Lyon or a possible Smart Parking system for the FIFA World Cup of Qatar 2022, so that, it is possible to analyze the results and draw positive conclusions, because in spite of the existence of limitations, a new environment that facilitates users the creation of IoT systems is achieved, just as the bIoTope project lays its foundations. Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT), Integrated Development Environment (IDE), bIoTope, Visual Programming, Node-RED, Industry 4.0, DevOps. 3 Implementing an IDE in the IoT Generation of Visual Programming Tools RESUMEN El presente Trabajo Fin de Máster se encuentra directamente alineado con el proyecto bIoTope, financiado por la Unión Europea, que pretende construir un ecosistema abierto y de innovación donde las empresas puedan crear con mayor facilidad y menor inversión, sistemas que permitan extraer la información que nos proporciona el Internet de las Cosas (IoT). A fin de colaborar en la consecución de este ambicioso objetivo, en este trabajo, se lleva a cabo el diseño y la implementación de un Entorno de Desarrollo Integrado (IDE) en una aplicación ampliamente utilizada para conectar objetos inteligentes y obtener información de ellos, conocida como Node-RED. Para hacer esto posible, se realiza un profundo estudio del estado del arte de los conceptos y tecnologías necesarias en las diferentes etapas del desarrollo: Definición, Creación del Entorno de Desarrollo basado en Skulpt e Implementación con Node-RED. Una vez completada la implementación, ésta es utilizada y testada en distintos casos reales, como la mitigación de las olas de calor en Greater Lyon o un posible sistema de parking inteligente para el Mundial de Fútbol de 2022 en Qatar. De esta forma, un análisis de los resultados es realizado, obteniendo conclusiones positivas, puesto que a pesar de que existen limitaciones, se consigue desarrollar un nuevo entorno que facilita la creación de sistemas IoT, tal y como el proyecto bIoTope asienta sus bases.

Over the intervening six years, accelerated by the cloud and a growing comfort with outsourcing human activates to machines, software has become ubiquitous. With examples like Amazon displacing traditional retailers or a proprietary “Today's large John Deere tractors have application for player evaluation named “Carmine” helping to lead the Boston Red Sox more lines of code than early space to three titles since 2004, the power of software cannot be understated. shuttles.” Samuel Allen (CEO, Deere & Company) ◼ Software is not only disrupting business models in place for centuries (or 86 years of baseball futility), but it also is enabling incumbent vendors across disparate industries to improve product offerings, drive deeper engagement with customers and optimize selling and marketing efforts.

  • Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform As a Service, Worldwide 24 March 2016 | ID:G00277028
    Gartner Reprint https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-321CNJJ&ct=160328&st=sb (http://www.gartner.com/home) LICENSED FOR DISTRIBUTION Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform as a Service, Worldwide 24 March 2016 | ID:G00277028 Analyst(s): Paul Vincent, Yefim V. Natis, Kimihiko Iijima, Anne Thomas, Rob Dunie, Mark Driver Summary Application platform technology in the cloud continues to be the center of growth as IT planners look to exploit cloud for the development and delivery of multichannel apps and services. We examine the leading enterprise vendors for these platforms. Market Definition/Description Platform as a service (PaaS) is defined as application infrastructure functionality enriched with cloud characteristics and offered as a service. Application platform as a service (aPaaS) is a PaaS offering that supports application development, deployment and execution in the cloud, encapsulating resources such as infrastructure and including services such as those for data management and user interfaces. An aPaaS offering that is designed to support the enterprise style of applications and application projects (high availability, disaster recovery, external service access, security and technical support) is enterprise aPaaS. This market includes only companies that provide public aPaaS offerings. Gartner identifies two classes of aPaaS: high-control, typically third-generation language (3GL)-based and used by IT departments for sophisticated applications such as microservice-based applications; and high-productivity, typically model-driven and used either by IT or citizen developers for standardized application patterns such as those focused on data collection and access. Vendors providing only aPaaS-enabling software without the associated cloud service — cloud-enabled application platforms — are not considered in this Magic Quadrant.

  • Low-Code Development Platforms : Summer 2020
    SUMMER 2020 Customer Success Report Low-Code Development Platforms Category Low-Code Development Platforms Category Low-code development platforms enable companies to create software quickly without the need for deep coding expertise. The solutions offer base-level code, integrations, and scripts to empower businesses to prototype, build, and scale applications without needing to develop complex infrastructures. Even non-developers can use these programs to build applications rapidly with customized functionality and workflows. Low-code development platforms are different from no-code solutions because they permit more advanced functionality with customized code instead of a drag-n-drop interface. However, they are a step below fully integrated development tools because they do not offer features to build complete apps from scratch. In short, low-code development platforms integrate with APIs, web services, and databases to link data, enable developers to customize source code and HTML markup, and produce source code as a foundation for customization.
