4. NEW PROJECT = IOT ARCHITECTURE++;
Challenge:

5. IoT ARM
• A methodology for designing architectures
for IoT systems
– Output of FP7 IoT-A project
• A lot of material available
–  or 
• Attracted a lot of interest globally

7. IoT context view

8. Virtual Entity Model

9. SocIoTal FV

10. IoT ARM in FP7 SocIoTal
• Using ARM from the beginning
– Scenarios, views, flows
• Experience
– Needed a bit of time to understand
methodology
– More time to understand what is feasible to be
done given time and effort
– Required a bit of stubbornness and good will to
make it happen

11. IoT ARM: Easy and useful, or not?
• Easy?
– Not the easiest thing to use or follow
• Useful - definitely
– Helped us understand each other
– Helped streamline architecture design
– Can compare different architectures
– Reuse of components
– Interaction between components
