ENACT: Development, Operation, and Quality Assurance of Trustworthy Smart IoT Systems

To unleash the full potential of IoT and flourishing innovations in application domains such as eHealth or smart city, it is critical to facilitate the creation and operation of trustworthy Smart IoT Systems (SIS). Since SIS typically operate in a changing and often unpredictable environment, the ability of these systems to continuously evolve and adapt to their new environment is decisive to ensure and increase their trustworthiness, quality and user experience. The DevOps movement advocates a set of software engineering best practices and tools, to ensure Quality of Service whilst continuously evolving complex systems. However, there is no complete DevOps support for trustworthy SIS today. In this paper we present a research roadmap to enable DevOps in such systems and introduce the ENACT DevOps concepts and Framework.
