A context-aware dispatcher for the Internet of Things: The case of electric power distribution systems

• Detailed explanation of an automatic dispatcher, its components and functions.
• Framework structure is based on context-awareness integration. with IOT middleware
• Framework tested in electrical distribution systems as a case study.
• High progress in the system performance in terms of cost, time and effort.
• Acceleration in faults repairing and increased user satisfaction.

Automating actions based on collected context from Internet of Things (IOT)-controlled systems is one of the most important requirements of IOT systems; this paper seeks to satisfy this requirement by offering a context-aware service framework on top of IOT controlled systems. The fault management process in electric power distribution networks is taken here as a case study and used for implementing our proposed framework. We discuss the different aspects that need to be covered in such a framework and its components. The obtained results from simulating and testing the framework show a significant improvement in the task management process compared to the traditional approach.
