Item BETaaS: A Platform for Development and Execution of Machine-to-Machine Applications in the Internet of Things: A Platform for Development and Execution of Machine-to-Machine Applications in the Internet of Things(2016-04-01) Vallati, Carlo; Mingozzi, Enzo; Tanganelli, Giacomo; Buonaccorsi, Novella; Valdambrini, Nicola; Zonidis, Nikolaos; Martinez-Rodriguez, Belen; Mamelli, Alessandro; Sommacampagna, Davide; Anggorojati, Bayu; Kyriazakos, Sofoklis; Prasad, Neeli; Nieto, Francisco Javier; Barreto, Oliver; Rodriguez, Oliver Barreto; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; BIGDATAThe integration of everyday objects into the Internet represents the foundation of the forthcoming Internet of Things (IoT). Such “smart” objects will be the building blocks of the next generation of applications that will exploit interaction between machines to implement enhanced services with minimum or no human intervention in the loop. A crucial factor to enable Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications is a horizontal service infrastructure that seamlessly integrates existing IoT heterogeneous systems. The authors present BETaaS, a framework that enables horizontal M2M deployments. BETaaS is based on a distributed service infrastructure built on top of an overlay network of gateways that allows seamless integration of existing IoT systems. The platform enables easy deployment of applications by exposing to developers a service oriented interface to access things (the Things-as-a-Service model) regardless of the technology and the physical infrastructure they belong.Item Legacy systems adaptation using the service oriented approach(2008) Nieto, Francisco Javier; Cañadas, Iñigo; Bastida, Leire; ADV_INTER_PLATLegacy systems are the core IT assets of the great majority of organisations that support their critical business processes. Integrating those existing legacy systems with the rest of IT infrastructure is a complex and difficult task. Legacy systems are often undocumented, inflexible and tightly coupled and imply high cost of maintenance. Many organisations are starting to look at Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) as a potential way to expose their existing legacy investment as functional units to be re-used and exploited externally. This paper is focused on providing guidance to those organisations which want to use SOA on legacy adaptation and transformation. For doing so, this paper defines a vision and a set of best practices that any organisation should follow in order to expose their useful legacy functionalities as part of a SOA environment, allowing the development of hybrid systems understood as compositions of new services as well as of legacy systems and existing components wrapped as services.
