Abstract

Internet-of-Things (IoT) services offer a great potential in many different enterprise application areas for improving efficiency gains to completely new business processes (BPs). However, due to diversified nature of the devices involved and uncertainty of business objectives associated when structuring BP aware IoT services, significant concerns of standardizations still have to be overcome. In this paper, we identified and integrated contexts of BPs to IoT services by means of role-centric view in order to define BP aware IoT services’ reference architecture. Configurable role based approach and model enables a systematic credentials and reuse of standardized IoT services in layers, while allowing participants of IoT services’ reference architecture to understand and imply possible variations. It is proposing a configurable role based concrete architecture layers incorporating topographies for capturing resources, data, and physical objects involved to IoT services. The methodology is validated with a case study of commercial surveillance camera and security alarm systems.
