Integration of Heterogeneous Services and Things into Choreographies

Abstract : Internet-of-Things (IoT) protocols are constantly increasing in the research and industrial landscape. However, the current standardization efforts limit the incorporation of Things as first-class entities into choreographies. To tackle this interoperability barrier, we propose and demonstrate the eVolution Service Bus (VSB), a middleware solution targeted to enable the interaction between Things-based and business-oriented services. Particularly, we demonstrate the incorporation of a service/Thing into the following choreographies: i) temperature sensors interacting with a business-oriented service, and ii) business-oriented services interacting with a route planner service.
