Abstract
The increase in the end and near-to-the-end devices capabilities has led to the development of paradigms such as the Internet of Things, Fog Computing and Edge Computing. These devices require an internet connection for sending the sensed or processed data, and for getting specific requests. Many of these devices are intended to make people’s live easier and they can also be used to better monitor people’s health. One of the problems of these devices is that they require internet connection and in most rural areas there is a poor internet infrastructure, making their use almost unfeasible. This paper presents a tool for generating applications with a mobile-centric architectural style that takes advantage of the capabilities of the end devices for processing and storing the sensed data. This style allows devices to process the information requests asynchronously, reducing the Internet requirements and allowing the use of these technologies in areas where the Internet connection is poor and intermittent.
