	abstract = {The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and data has led to multiple software applications which aim at collecting, monitoring, controlling, and automating decisions based on such data in several domains such as smart cities. Even though early IoT frameworks and software architectures relied on correlating data from a single application domain, missing opportunities to improve contextualisation; in the last years several Complex Event Processing (CEP)-based frameworks and applications have been provided to improve the correlation of data from heterogenous domains, facilitating context-aware decision making. However, several issues remain unsolved: on the one hand, frameworks should not only provide the means for data correlation and contextualisation, but also for the definition of customisable real-time actions based on the context. On the other hand, CEP patterns update remains static in these frameworks, while there is a need for dynamically updating CEP pattern logic to adapt to changing contexts in real time. Even more, CEP patterns logic understanding might also be a handicap for developers. To face these challenges, in this paper, we enhance an existent CEP-based framework and software architecture by incorporating Business Process Modelling (BPM) to facilitate the definition of CEP patterns rationale, manage interdependencies between patterns, define and handle contextualised user actions, and enable real-time updating of CEP pattern logic based on detected situations. The proposed approach is illustrated through a case study, assessed via usability and performance evaluations, which show improvements in comprehensibility, maintainability, and updatability of CEP-based software applications for context-aware IoT scenarios.},

	title = {Facilitating the Adoption of Complex Event Processing for IoT: Framework and Lessons Learned},
	year = {2026},
	month = {March-April},
	abstract = {This paper introduces a novel framework designed to significantly facilitate the adoption by software developers and domain experts of the entire lifecycle of Complex Event Processing (CEP) for IoT domains. Recognizing the challenges non-technical users face, the framework integrates tools and processes that facilitate synthetic data generation for testing, intuitive definition, storage, and deployment of event types and patterns, and crucial runtime management. It also supports the storage and visualization of generated complex events. Its central component is SEC-API4CEP, a secure RESTful API enabling dynamic deployment, updating, and undeployment of event patterns at runtime, overcoming limitations of existing solutions, with integrated security. By addressing these critical aspects, the framework empowers software practitioners to leverage CEP for real-time analysis and response without requiring deep technical expertise while also allowing domain experts to graphically design IoT patterns to be detected by the CEP engine.},

In recent years, the scope of full stack development has expanded significantly, though.  Today, a full stack software developer is assumed to master various additional areas especially related to cloud infrastructure and deployment, message brokers and data analytics technologies.  In addition, the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapidly spreading use of AI/ML technologies are introducing additional skill set requirements.  In this paper, we discuss the expectations for a modern full stack developer based on our industry observations, and argue that these expectations have significant implications for software and web engineering education.},

We note that the emergence of inexpensive AI/ML hardware and new communication technologies are broadening the architectural options for IoT devices even further. These options can have a significant impact on the overall end-to-end architecture and topology of IoT systems, e.g., in determining how much computation can be performed on the edge of the network. We study the implications of the IoT device architecture choices in light of the new observations, as well as make some new predictions about future directions. Additionally, we make a case for isomorphic IoT systems in which development complexity is alleviated with consistent use of technologies across the entire stack, providing a seamless continuum from edge devices all the way to the cloud.},
