Abstract:
Using label technology, a physical object may be employed to build a continuously growing data collection, which can, for instance, be exploited for product quality monitoring and lifecycle management. Along the object’s lifecycle, queries to such a collection may stay quite similar, e.g., “get unusual observations”. However, expectations to a “good” answer may change, as with time different entities will come into contact with the object. This article reports on work in progress concerning a framework for collecting data concerning things, which aims at 1) decoupling logic employed for interpreting such a collection from processing hardware and 2) using the collection itself for transporting such logic. Main contributions include an approach to hardware-abstraction of processing logic at the object or remote, and an app store for retrieving interpretation and presentation logic.
