For his SummerSOC 2022 contribution entitled Enhancing IoT Platforms for Autonomous Device Discovery and Selection, Jan Schneider receives ServTech’s Young Researcher Award 2022. The awardee and his co-author Pascal Hirmer propose a methodology and supporting architecture that enables IoT platforms to autonomously execute custom application logic within IoT ecosystems in a reliable and scalable manner. Their particular focus is the establishment of loose coupling to prevent the IoT platform from being limited in its applicability by the immediate adaptation of technology-specific procedures.
