Kiuas -- IoT Cloud Environment for Enabling the Programmable World

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the next significant step in the evolution of the Internet and software development. Until recently, the majority of work in the IoT area focused on data acquisition, analytics and visualization. However, we believe that the evolution towards IoT will eventually result in the creation of a Programmable World in which even the simplest things and most ordinary artifacts are connected to public or private clouds and can be controlled and programmed remotely. In this paper we will introduce Kiuas -- a cloud-based IoT development environment for enabling the Programmable World. The main objective of the Kiuas system is to make software development for complex, large and dynamic topologies of IoT devices as effortless as possible.
