Abstract

Mobile IoT applications consist of an innovative field where numerous devices collect, process and exchange huge amounts of data with central systems or their peers. Intelligent applications could be built on top of such information realizing the basis of future Internet. For engineering novel applications, experimentation plays a significant role, especially, when it is performed remotely. Remote experimentation should offer a framework where experimenters can efficiently define their experiments. In this chapter, we focus on the experiments definition management proposed by Road-, Air- and Waterbased Future Internet Experimentation (RAWFIE). RAWFIE offers, among others, an experimentation language and an editor where experimenters can remotely insert their experiments to define actions performed by the nodes in a testbed. RAWFIE proposes the Experiment Description Language (EDL) that provides the elements for the management of devices and the collected data. Commands related to any aspect of a node behavior (e.g., configuration, location, task description) are available to experimenters. We report on the EDL description and the offered editors and discuss their key parts and functionalities.
