Abstract:
The Internet has developed rapidly in recent years. The number of devices, systems or other physical products connected to the Internet is growing. These can transmit information about usage statistics or possible error situations of their deployment environment and can be controlled and adapted by their providers. Such deployment scenarios are generally referred to as Internet-of-Things (IoT). For their practical implementation, suitable IoT platforms are used that collect and store information about IoT products and make it available for evaluations, visualizations, and their further processing. The University of Rostock is working on a project to develop a diagnostic technology for ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. An IoT solution is to enable product- and manufacturer-independent automatic data acquisition from air handling systems during operation. The goal of the master thesis is to design an architecture for this IoT solution that allows the integration of model support at design time and the IoT platform at runtime. For this purpose, a meta-model for the IoT application for HVAC is developed. A model example and feasibility study are used to investigate the utility of the metamodel.
