近年来，物联网 (IoT) 日益普及，物联网网关发挥着越来越重要的作用，调解大量异构物联网设备和云服务之间的交互。在本文中，我们介绍了 iGateLink，这是一个开源 Android 库，可简化 Android 应用程序的开发，充当物联网设备和边缘/雾/云计算环境之间的网关。由于其可插拔设计，提供与许多充当数据源或雾/云框架的设备连接的模块可以轻松地为不同的应用程序重用。在两个案例研究中使用 iGateLink 复制了医疗保健和图像处理领域的先前工作，事实证明，与使用传统方法相比，该库可以有效地适应不同的场景并加快网关应用程序的开发。
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been growing in popularity, along with the increasingly important role played by IoT gateways, mediating the interactions among a plethora of heterogeneous IoT devices and cloud services. In this paper, we present iGateLink, an open-source Android library easing the development of Android applications acting as a gateway between IoT devices and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing environments. Thanks to its pluggable design, modules providing connectivity with a number of devices acting as data sources or Fog/Cloud frameworks can be easily reused for different applications. Using iGateLink in two case-studies replicating previous works in the healthcare and image processing domains, the library proved to be effective in adapting to different scenarios and speeding up the development of gateway applications, as compared to the use of conventional methods.
