o:33372 Everything-as-a-Thing for Abstracting the Internet-of-Things en Abstract: This paper discusses Everything-as-a-Thing (*aaT) as a novel way for abstracting the Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Compared to other forms of abstraction like Everything-as-a-Service (*aaS) and Everythingas- a-Resource (*aaR), *aaT puts emphasis on living things, on top of non-living things, that populate these applications. On the one hand, living things take over roles that are defined in terms of rights and duties. On the other hand, non-living things offer capabilities that are defined in terms of functional and non-functional properties. Interactions that occur between living and non-living things are specified as stories that define who does what, when, and where. For illustration purposes, *aaT is put into action using a healthcare case study. Keywords: Capability, Internet of Things, Role, Service, Storytelling. 2024-04-03T11:29:56.077Z 44 no 46 Zakaria Maamar 0000-0003-4462-8337 Noura Faci person 0000-0001-7428-6302 Mohamed Sellami person 0000-0002-7547-1857 Emir Ugljanin Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 104999689 0000-0003-1721-3208 Ejub Kajan Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-3753-3535 application/pdf 207367 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:33372 no yes 1 70 92000001 20A01 ICSOFT 2018 - 13th International Conference on Software Technologies 733 740 2018
