Changing the programming paradigm for the embedded in the IoT domain

The enormous growth of the IoT with the simultaneous explosion of the interest on prototyping boards pushed the research to rethink also the way to making the embedded world easy accessible to several targets: designers, artists, but also engineer without a strong background in low level programming. In this paper the technical specifications of a comprehensive design suite for IoT prototyping are described and a possible implementation of a software suite for the design of smart objects is presented. The suite represents a design environment where different software tools are integrated in an integrated and user friendly framework.
