Simplify Node-RED For End User Development in SeismoCloud

Networks of IoT devices often require configuration and definition of behavior by the final user. Node-RED is a flow-based programming platform commonly used for End User Development, but it requires networking and protocols skills in order to be efficiently used. We add a level of abstraction to Node-RED nodes in order to allow non-skilled users to configure and control networks of IoT devices and online services. We applied such abstractions to the SeismoCloud application for earthquake monitoring.
