Internet of Things Architecture

 IoT Domain Model;

 Functional View;

 Information View.

Figure 65 : Relationship of architectural views (based on Figure 15-1 in [Rozanski
2011]).

In this figure:


 In dark red: views that are treated in Chapter 4 and in Appendix C, or in
this section;

 In orange: related models (see Chapter 3 ).

Figure 65 also shows how the models of the IoT Reference Model (orange; see
Chapter 3 ) relate to the architectural views.


Notice that since the IoT Domain Model also encompasses the role of users it
actually implicitly covers the enterprise view as advocated by RM-ODP (see the
Section 3.1 for a discussion of the enterprise view and Section 3.3 for a
discussion of roles in the IoT Domain Model). The reasons behind why these
views were chosen are provided in Section 2.2. Please also notice that although
the other views shown in Figure 65 (―... view‖) are not covered in IoT ARM, this
does not imply that they are not important for the generation of concrete
architectures. This becomes clearer from a more detailed look at the
architecture generation process. Figure 66 outlines the activities involved in the
generation of an architecture. These are:
