OCF for Resource-Constrained Environments - Kishen Maloor, Intel Corporation

The IoT will be connected by smart edge devices with pertinent hardware having resource constraints. Such devices will execute in an environment defined by a selection of embedded OS, network stack, I/O and network layer/radio capabilities, all for which there are many options. Frameworks for standards based IoT are therefore confronted with the challenge of providing a consistent and maintainable codebase to employ across a diversity of deployments while staying lightweight.

This technical talk will present a new open-source and small-footprint implementation of the OCF (Open Connectivity Foundation) standard for resource-constrained environments. It will provide an overview of its architecture and design choices and how they address the aforementioned challenges. It will also do a code walk through of a simple OCF application. The presenter is the lead developer of this project.
