Internet of Things Architecture

E Requirements for the Concrete Architecture (Section 5.3)

As already stated in Section 5.2.5, the IoT ARM does not offer any specific support in deriving requirements (besides the inspiration
provided by the Unified Requirements; see Section 5.2.8), rather the IoT ARM provides support in mapping the requirements onto the
IoT-ARM concepts. This is exemplified in the below Table of requirements by the yellow-coloured columns. These columns are
populated during the initial mapping of the requirements onto concepts used in the IoT ARM. The core concepts used in the IoT ARM
are views and perspectives, and these are shown to the far left.
