Appendix C Define APIs for the implemented

FCs.

Appendix C provides definitions of high-level interfaces for all

the FCs in the functional decomposition in Section 4.2.2. While

these high-level interfaces are not equivalent to APIs, the

information provided in Appendix C -(together with the

sequence charts in the same Appendix) can be seen as a solid

starting block for deriving APIs. More information can be found

in the WP4 White Paper on Resolution Infrastructure Interface

Binding [Bauer 2013], which describes a REST

(Representational State Transfer) interface binding that was

exemplarily defined based on the abstract interface

specifications of the IoT Service Resolution and Virtual Entity

Resolution FC found in Appendix C.

Table 12 : Overview of IoT architecting activities and actions

This table gives an overview of Activities and actions when architecting an IoT system and shows what modules of the IoT ARM
document one can consult in order to support said activities and actions. This table also provides outlines about the input/guidance
that can be derived from said modules. For an overview also see Figure 68.
