Abstract

Everybody has to coordinate several tasks everyday, usually in a manual manner. Recently, the concept of Task Automation Services has been introduced to automate and personalize the task coordination problem. Several user centered platforms and applications have arisen in the last years, that let their users configure their very own automations based on third party services. In this paper, we propose a new system architecture for Task Automation Services in a heterogeneous mobile, smart devices, and cloud services environment. Our architecture is based on the novel idea to employ distributed Complex Event Processing to implement innovative mixed execution profiles. The major advantage of the approach is its ability to incorporate context-awareness and real-time coordination in Task Automation Services.

This is the case for rules like “Whenever I receive an email with attachment save that attachment on my Dropbox”, those are out of the scope of our scenario, but they are still supported by our system.
 
7
In most cases, they are implemented by API connectors (because most third party web service developers offer it); however, webhooks or pub-sub are even more convenient approaches to work with events on the cloud.
 
8
Other types of smart devices like smart home devices are possible, which would have their own domain-specific EPN.

Detected situations can also generate Action events which are sent to an app on the smartphone in order to trigger an appropriate app action.
