Each individual device is small and executes a confined software core. Collective intelligence is gained from distributed collaboration and Internet communication. Corresponding IoT solutions form large distributed software systems that pose professional requirements: scalability, reliability, security, portability and maintainability. The C++ Actor Framework CAF contributes such a professional open source software layer for the IoT. Based on the actor model of Hewitt et al., it aids programmers at a good level of abstraction without sacrificing performance.}, publisher = {ERCIM EEIG}, theme = {iot|prog}, }
