[MA] Software Requirements Analysis and Architecture Reflection for Designing a Software Platform for Adaptive and Mobile Information Provision
With regard to the development of Internet of Things (IoT) systems in recent years, performing physical activities may be supported by providing specific information from a cloud or fog system. This makes working tasks, especially information retrievals, e.g., re- questing patient medical history, maintenance instructions, manufacturing machines state or emergency information, easier and quicker to conduct. IoT devices or more specific, Wear- ables, and Machine Learning technologies on the other side combined together create a soft- ware/hardware solution group called Adaptive and Mobile Information Provision (AMIP) sys- tems, which unfold a large new area of applications and products. These kind of software systems include a large number of modules to aggregate sensor data and input, recognize situations, access data bases, perform and adapt specific behavior, transform and format do- main data and make it accessible via devices in a server-client system. As the actual requirements for a certain use-cases are only partially evaluated and thus appropriate architectures are unknown, a general-purpose AMIP software architecture should be achieved based on a detailed requirements analysis. Prospective applications can be based on this platform and utilize the same architecture. In general, AMIP application aims for the following software qualities: context sensitivity, adaptivity, robustness, reliability, security and privacy, and customizability.
