\label{sec:back_iot}
The \gls{IOT} is growing rapidly, and it is changing the way people and machines interact with each other and the world.
-While the term \gls{IOT} briefly gained interest around 1999 to describe the communication of \gls{RFID} devices \citep{ashton_internet_1999,ashton_that_2009}, it probably already popped up halfway the eighties in a speech by \citet{peter_t_lewis_speech_1985}:

\emph{The \glsxtrlong{IOT}, or \glsxtrshort{IOT}, is the integration of people, processes and technology with connectable devices and sensors to enable remote monitoring, status, manipulation and evaluation of trends of such devices.}
\subsection{The \texorpdfstring{\gls{ITASK}}{iTask} system}
The concept of \gls{TOP} originated from the \gls{ITASK} framework, a declarative language and \gls{TOP} engine for defining interactive multi-user distributed web applications.
The \gls{ITASK} system is implemented as an \gls{EDSL} in the programming language \gls{CLEAN}\footnote{\Cref{chp:clean_for_haskell_programmers} contains a guide for \gls{CLEAN} tailored to \gls{HASKELL} programmers.} \citep{plasmeijer_itasks:_2007,plasmeijer_task-oriented_2012}.
+It has been under development for over fifteen years and has proven itself through use in industry for some time now as well \citep{top_software_viia_2023}.
From the structural properties of the data types and the current status of the work to be done, the entire \gls{UI} is automatically generated.
Browsers are powering \gls{ITASK}'s presentation layer.
The framework is built on top of standard web techniques such as JavaScript, HTML, and {CSS}.
