物联网专业英语教程Unit 3 Architecture and Technology of IoT.ppt

　　　　　　1. Architecture　　The Internet of Things needs an open architecture to maximize interoperability among heterogeneous systems and distributed resources including providers and consumers of information and services, whether they be human beings, software, smart objects or devices. Architecture standards should consist of well-defined abstract data models, interfaces and protocols, together with concrete bindings to neutral technologies (such as XML, web services etc.) in order to support the widest possible variety of operating systems and programming languages.　　The architecture should have well-defined and granular layers, in order to foster a competitive marketplace of solutions, without locking any users into using a monolithic stack from a single solution provider. Like the internet, the IoT architecture should be designed to be resilient to disruption of the physical network and should also anticipate that many of the nodes will be mobile, may have intermittent connectivity and may use various communication protocols at different times to connect to the IoT.　　IoT nodes may need to dynamically and autonomously form peer networks with other nodes, whether local or remote and this should be supported through a decentralized, distributed approach to the architecture, with support for semantic search, discovery and peer networking. Anticipating the vast volumes of data that may be generated, it is important that the architecture also include mechanisms for moving intelligence and capabilities for Internet of Things, pattern recognition, machine learning and decision-making to enable distributed and decentralized processing of the information, either close to where data is generated or remotely in the cloud. The architectural design will also need to enable the processing, routing, storage and retrieval of events and allow for disconnected operations (e.g. where network connectivity might only be intermittent). Effective caching, pre-positioning and syn
