An Event-Driven Service-Oriented Architecture for the Internet of Things

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) bridges the physical world and information space. IoT services are environment sensitive and event-driven. The new IoT service architecture should adapt to these features. This paper analyses IoT sensing service characteristics and proposes the future services architecture. It is focused on the middleware architecture and the interface presentation technology. In the middleware layer, the traditional SOA architecture is insufficient in the real-time response and parallel process of services execution, this paper proposes that the new sensing service system based on EDSOA (Event Driven SOA) architecture to support real-time, event-driven, and active service execution. At presentation layer, this paper presents the new IoT browser features including using augmented reality technology to input and output, and realize the superposition presentation of the physical world and abstract information. Through a use case and proof-of-concept implementation-road manhole covers monitoring system - we verify the feasibility of the proposed ideas and frameworks.
