The document discusses WSO2's platform for IoT and connected devices. It describes the challenges of IoT platforms around device registration, integration, security, scalability and event management. It then outlines WSO2's reference architecture for IoT and its IoT Server product, which aims to address these challenges. Key capabilities of the WSO2 IoT Platform include device management, modeling devices as APIs, support for protocols like MQTT and HTTP, and integrating devices with analytics tools like WSO2 Data Analytics Server.

30. WSO2 Reference Architecture for IoT

31. WSO2 IoT Server
● Implementation of WSO2 Reference Architecture for IoT
● Offering WSO2 IoT Platform as a single distribution pack
● 1.0.0-Beta – 2015 Q1
● 1.0.0 GA - 2016 Q1

32. WSO2 IoT Platform - Target Market
● Device Manufacturers
○ Looking for software processing platform for new devices
○ Registering new device types
○ Device enrolment for device owners
○ Personalized dashboard for devices (device owners)
○ App building for device control

34. WSO2 IoT Server

35. **
IoT Device
● Piece of hardware
● Built for a purpose
● Capable of a limited functionality
● Control interface
● Input/output
● Consumes power
● Constrained Environment
Characteristics
Summary
● Functional Capabilities (Actuators)
● Administration Capabilities (Management)
● Monitoring Capabilities (Sensor Data)

36. **
Modeling Device as an API
● eg : HTTP API (not limited to)
○ Lock
■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/door1lock/staus
■ POST http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/door1lock/lock
○ Temperature Sensor
■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/temperature1
○ Motor
■ POST http://{ip}/{locationid}/actuators/motor1/rotate/{turns}/{direction}
■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/actuators/motor1/status

37. **
Advantages - Devices as APIs
● APIs - Standard Integration Pattern
○ Heterogenous devices
■ protocols, access control mechanisms, data formats
● App Developers - Already familiar programming
paradigm
● Seamless Integration with existing systems
● Ability to re-user known patterns for securing, hardening
APIs
● API Economy

38. Writing Device Plugins

39. IoT Analytics

40. IoT Analytics
● How fast do you results?
● How much data to keep?
● Hindsight, insight, foresight
● Acting on data/events

42. WSO2 Data Analytics Server

52. Virtual Devices for simulation

53. **
Currently Support for protocols
● MQTT
○ Topic per device instance
○ Single topic for IoT Server
● XMPP
○ Jabber account per device instance
● Web sockets
○ Device -> Event Listener -> CEP Output Adaptor (Web
Sockets)
● HTTP
○ HTTP server @ device gateway end

54. Security Challenges

55. How enterprises can use IoT Platform?
● Device Management
● On boarding new device types with custom
transport/protocol needs
● Performing Analytics on existing device data streams
● Device to middleware integration
● Device to Application lifecycle management via APIs
