Abstract:
Increased connectivity and emerging autonomous cloud and Internet-of-things (IoT) technologies are motivating the transformation of the traditional product-focused development to cloud-based solutions and service-oriented business model in many companies. In line with this, several reference architectures for the Internet-of-things have been developed. Although some of these reference architectures have continued their development tracks in parallel and have different focus, they also have similarities in many perspectives, which may result in confusion in understanding and applying appropriate reference architectures for specific use cases. The aim of this study is therefore to survey these existing Internet-of-things reference architectures, clarify their characteristics, and analyze them from a variety of perspectives, including technology, process, quality and key system concerns, business and people. We also present several other relevant activities and initiatives related to the Internet-of-things.
