AgendaAspects of IoT developmentBusiness & Technical Concerns (or Functional & Non Functional Requirements)Why Java?Using Standards – pick your flavor!IRLQ&A
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
ASPECTS OF IOT DEVELOPMENTOh so many things to consider!
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
IoT Development…Is not just connecting things
Has a lot of constraints
Has many horizontal aspects and as many vertical aspects
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
On connecting thingsThe buzz of IoT is connecting things
Does everything needs to be connected?
The implications of connectivity
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
It’s here and thereWe can talk about these concerns both in embedded and cloud development
We’re going to focus more on embedded
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
So many constraints!Hardware constraintsSoftware constraintsProtocol constraintsReal life considerations
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Aspects deep and wide Business considerations• What process are we replacing, enhancing or
creating?• Who’s being impacted, equipment and people
wise?Technical considerations• Even very different verticals have the same
technical requirements – and this lets us leverage standards
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
BUSINESS & TECHNICAL CONCERNS (OR FUNCTIONAL & NON FUNCTIONAL
REQUIREMENTS)
What do you need, commander?
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
It starts very simple”Just need this value in this system”
”Can’t you just connect a cable and read it?”
”Just put a chip in there and it’ll work”
”But it’s just a modem”
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
But it gets complicatedExplicit concerns
And ones they don’t even think about
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
It gets down to• Safety• Security, Trust & Privacy • Resilience • Integrability, Interoperability and Composability • Connectivity • Data Management • Analytics and Advanced Data Processing• Device Management
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
WHY JAVA?would you like a cup of java with that, sir?
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Java……is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. …has a vibrant ecosystem where open source plays a major role…virtual machine allows true ”write once, compile once and run anywhere” for embedded and server environments
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
USING STANDARDS – PICK YOUR FLAVOR!Oh so many choices!
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Standards address common issuesEvery major concern in our bucket list has at least one standard to address it
But sometimes too many standards do get in the way
Standards and open source go very well together
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Data Management • Query, Publish and Subscribe
• Storage, Persistence and Retrieval
• Integration
• Description and Presence
• Rights Management
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Security, Trust & Privacy • Endpoint security
• Communication security between the endpoints
• Data distribution and secure storage
• Management and monitoring security of both the endpoints and the communication mechanism
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Connectivity• Communication Transport • Get data there
• Connectivity Framework • How data is structured and used
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Integrability, Interoperability and Composability • Integrability
• Interoperability
• Composability
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Device Management
• Day-to-day operations (who’s not online and why)
• Firmware & configuration management
• Billing
• Non-functional aspects
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
IRL (IN REAL LIFE)What would you choose?
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
A Smart Freezer
• ”Simple” business concept• Monitor temperature to avoid product loss
• ”Since we are doing this, why not…”• Monitor stock level• Check if others are using our freezer for something
else
• Server and embedded development
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Addressing the concerns – Connectivity & Security• Use JCA (Java Crytography Architecture) for security
concerns• Or, alternatively BouncyCastle framework
• JavaCard/PKCS11 helps with authentication and cryptography
• Standard protocols for IoT communication• HTTPS (TLS/SSL) if you can afford• MQTT• CoAP
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Addressing the concerns – Data Integration
• Java has plenty of standards for data parsing and representation
• JSR 363 for measurements• JSR 353 for JSON-P • JSR 339 for JAX-RS (REST)• JSR 343 for Messaging (JMS 2.0)• You can use an MQ that exposes MQTT to the devices and
JMS to your servers
• Using these standards in a Java EE environment will lead to a very efficient development
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Addressing the concerns – Integrability
• Extensive Java EE standards for REST and SOAP WebServices
• JSR 363 helps with interoperability between diverse systems
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
It gets more complicated...
• When thinking of expansion, it does get more complicated as there are many different aspects to consider• Device management• Multiple WANs• Multiple legacy protocols
• There are plenty of options that encapsulate (some) of these concerns, for a cost (or not)
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Going the open source route…
• iot.Eclipse.org has a ever increasing (20+) suite of tools and frameworks for IoT that helps to address some concerns we discussed• You can get professional support on top of them
• Kura (OSGi for services gateways)• Paho (open-source implementations of open and
standard messaging protocols)
• For server side, we get a LOT of options (just look at your session catalog )
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
… Or closed systems
• Major IT vendors have something to offer in IoT now
• For device development• Standard framework for development• Tight integration with backend system
• And server side• Device management• Message Routing• Analytics and Processing
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Major IoT offerings
• Oracle IoT CS• IBM BlueMix• GE Predix• Microsoft Azure IoT• Amazon AWS IoT• PTC ThingWorx
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
Q & A
@leomrlima#FastIoTJ1
In the end…
• There are plenty of options to match plenty of requirements
• Each project is a project, and you’ll be re-evaluating requirements for each of them
• It pays to have a broad knowledge of what’s available and do a quick survey of their strengths
• Standardized solutions will always be the ones with better support and odds of being the best tool
