WebMaDa 2.1 – A Web‐Based Framework for Handling User Requests Automatically and Addressing Data Control in Parallel

Over the last decades the Internet of Things raised in its importance and became more and more part of everyone's life (e.g., smarthome, fitness tracking). In parallel different requests for privacy support, mobility support and flexible privilege handling raised. Thus, this book chapter summarizes the current situation and concerns of users and network owners in the IoT. Based on investigated and identified concerns and users' request, it categorizes and discusses the requirement design of WebMaDa (Web‐based Management and Data Handling Framework) addressing the identified issues. WebMaDa supports the mobility request of users and at the same time place the total network and data control with the network owner, reducing the administrator or third‐party involvement to a minimum. Thus, special focus in WebMaDa's design was in (i) automated request handling and (ii) addressing of data control with respect to privacy and transparency. The realized system is evaluated by a proof of operation.
