Also, for example, devices were on a 6LowPAN network, different types of devices would subscribe to different multicast groups, to minimise their responses, since some devices may rely on battery power, we don't want them to announce their presence or respond unnecessarily as that wastes power. There are a number of new IoT protocols being developed, I think we'll need to provide some support for some to start with. AMQP is another interesting protocol. On the discovery side, in order to make a connection, the multicast response will need to contain the application layer name, transport layer name, contact address and port, eg: MQTT, TCP, IP address:port. Typically the nework layer will define the method of multicast. Cheers, Peter.

And that is a cool way to achieve interoperability with smaller devices without ability to run a JVM, especially the original dream where devices don't know about each other ahead of time (except by some interface) I also see value where "IoT Service" doesn't bother with "Service Registrar" in the "Jini sense" and the "IoT Device" only participate in "Discovery" and then get a secure/trusted channel, onto which a light-weight protocol, such as MQTT or CoAP, can be funneled in either direction.

There's an existing Java RPC implementation LGPL, with a maven build tag => oncrpc4j-2.6.0 https://github.com/dCache/oncrpc4j The implementation above supports /RPCSEC_GSS/ for security, although there's a client side bug at present, but fixing it will be a lot less work than reimplimenting it. Basically RPC is the C equivalent of Java RMI. Cheers, Peter. On 5/11/2016 10:32 AM, Niclas Hedhman wrote: Sorry, I get the feeling that too much detail thinking is still inyour head.

Create a standard so other languages can be supported by others. * Write a java utility and service that manages proxies, registers discovered constrained devices with a lookup service and manages it's lease. This utility can generate attributes (from Configuration) and provide a bootstrap proxy (service) to allow clients to authenticate and obtain the smart proxy used to communicate directly with the device. * Provide an interface for clients to notify the utility service when a device is down.

The "thermostat" runs with a kB-sized microcontroller and is struggling to getsecurity features in at all, and the "home router" is typically(still) running from a 4-8MByte flash, which is impossible to even get a Java ME onto, so there is a lot of challenges when using "IoT" as a blanket term.So, I think a couple of concrete, do-able, use-casesneed to be highlighted as examples, maybe a kind of "blue print" paper on how to do it with River. I totally agree that the "mothership" model is outrageous from a consumer's perspective, a nasty vendor lock-in, that all vendors are pushing for andall consumers/users need to fight the best we can.A very active home automation project is called "OpenHAB", a flurry of activity, connecting just about everything from your thermostat to your dog's toys. I have not looked closely at it, don't even know if it is a Java project as such, but it is one of the most active projects in the field of Home IoT.

As a potential IoT user I'm looking for two things: 1. Security. 2. Server independence. I don't want my thermostat to stop working if a server I don't control goes down or is taken out of service for any reason. I think River may be a good basis for those features.

I put forward a proposal to sever the ties between River and Jini itself,and instead re-focus River to be a a secured network transport, withoptional discovery. Starting point is of course the JERImodule and Peter's work to secure this transport, but in the longer term look at alternativetransport formats and eventually bindings to otherlanguages, which I thinkwill be the major hurdle for long term acceptance (no one is Java- onlynowadays). Jini's services, Reggie and so on, carries a lot ofnegative connotationamong people who were around back then, and exceptfor where it has beenadopted, I doubt that there will be any new uptake,so instead of makingJini (and its specs) the focal point of River, make itto "Examples of whatRiver can be used for". Another example of what can be done with River could eventually includeconnectors for popular platforms, such as Zookeeper,which could openavenues for new blood coming to River Concrete things; Apache Karaf is also a very smallcommunity, yet they have managed to put together a very exciting website, and I think River community could "borrow" a lot of that work, making itself more appealing, promoting the new focus. I don't think much coding is needed to get thisgoing, but packaging might be "fixed" to makeconsumption of the corefunctionality as easy as possible, preferably easier than that. Once that is up-and-running starting the "reachout" to other projects,individuals and press releases.I hope that this will inspire some to more action.
