Arrowhead vision

Creating an interoperability framework to enable collaborative automation by networked embedded devices

29th-31st October, 20144

Arrowhead grand challenges

Enabling the interoperability of services provided by almost any device

Enabling the integrability of services provided by almost any device

29th-31st October, 20145

Arrowhead approaches

TCP/IP everywhere, middleware nowhere. Internet of Things - IoT System of systems - SoS

The Integrating Technology Service Oriented Architectures - SOA

evopro Innovation in ArrowheadWP7 objectives

• Document the generic design guideline and design patterns which shall describe how systems shall interact in an Arrowhead environment

• Definition of the overall Arrowhead framework, the selection of suitable technologies as well as processes for specification, design, engineering, commissioning etc.
