In literature there are many attempts to create specific SEs or platform for the realization of SEs. Although effective, these solutions lack of interoperability with other third-part “Things”. In this paper we propose iSapiens, a Java-based platform for the design and the implementation of SEs. iSapiens deals with the above mentioned limitation by leveraging the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) paradigm to dynamically include in a SE newly available “Things” without requiring any human intervention. iSapiens allows the creation of pervasive smart environments by exploiting the edge computing paradigm, that makes locally available distributed storage and computational resources without introducing latency and causing bandwidth shortage.

abstract = {Smart Cyber-Physical Environments are augmented physical environments whose behaviours are enhanced through the use of ICT technologies. The goal is to offer new services and functionalities devoted to meet people’s needs and preferences, and to better exploit existing services and infrastructures. The use of IoT technologies, paired with the edge computing, fosters the development of Smart Environment applications having the important features of reliability, scalability and extensibility. This paper proposes an approach for the design and the implementation of Smart Cyber Physical Environment applications having the aforementioned features. The approach relies on the use of isapiens which is an IoT platform enabling edge computing through the exploitation of the agent metaphor. Such platform provides effective abstractions which are able to hide heterogeneity of both the adopted hardware devices and communication protocols.
