ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the presentation of sample tools for the development of IoT analytics applications and more specifically the development tools of an IoT platform which has been recently developed as part of the FP7 VITAL project. The VITAL IoT development environment is an integral part of the VITAL smart cities platform. The primary goal of the VITAL development environment is to integrate all functionalities provided by the VITAL platform and make them accessible to smart city application developers through a single tool, the VITAL development tool. In order to expose the functionalities provided by the VITAL platform through the VITAL development tool, a number of new Node-RED nodes were created and added to the tool. Filtering nodes are used to access the VITAL filtering functionalities. As IoT analytics applications, proliferate developers are starving for tools that can boost their development productivity.
