IoT-A project: designing a reference architectural for interconnected smart objects
IoT Domain - current status
Vertical silos
Fragmented architectures, no coherent unifying concepts,solutions exist only for specific application silos.
No coherent approaches to implement the IoT have beenproposed, yet.
Many island solutions do exist (RFID, Sensor nets, etc.).
Little cross-sectorial re-use of technology and exchange ofknowledge.
In essence, today we have only Intranets of Things.
Introducing the IoT-A tree:
a generic Reference Model,derived from Businessconsiderations,application-basedrequirements and currenttechnologies,
able to generate differentReference architecturesdepending ondomain-specificrequirements,
to be used as a blueprintfor concrete architecturedesign.

Definitions
Reference Model
A Reference Model is an abstract framework for understandingsignificant relationships among the entities of some environment.It enables the development of specific referencearchitectures. A Reference Model consists of a minimal set ofunifying concepts, axioms and relationships
Reference Architecture
A Reference Architecture is an architectural design pattern thatindicates how an abstract set of relationships realises a set ofrequirements. The main purpose of a RA is to provide guidancefor the development of concrete architectures. More referencearchitectures may be derived from a common reference model.

Architectural Reference Model
“reference Architecture” from Le Courbusier, themost influential architect (and urbanist) of our era
For most technologists, this IS anarchitecture

IoT-A is not a closed project
IoT-A consortium mainlycomposed by technologycompanies (or departments of)
As IoT-A aims at realisingsomething useful, interactionwith end users is a necessity
Therefore, we established a“Stakeholders Group”
