Abstract

Cloud computing and Internet of Things are imposing a dramatic change in software development and delivery. Moreover, ICT solutions are paving innovation in every sector and therefore becoming a business factor for the success of any enterprise. The implications are manifold since technical issues need to be harmonised with social, organisational and legal aspects. In this paper we illustrate and comment the current trends to identify research directions to build services as comprehensive components accessible via APIs. The goal is to deliver services ecosystems, which call for open platforms to manage services that can connect and interact via shared protocols in dynamic heterogeneous contexts. Machine-readable semantic descriptions, microservices (single-function services), and containers (independent units of deployment) are discussed as building blocks for software architectures of the future.

    See for example the final report of the Workshop on “next-generation Internet of Things”: http://anrg.usc.edu/ngiot16.

  3. 3.

    CoAP redesigns a subset of the HTTP methods to minimise the overhead, and extends the GET method to support basic publish/subscribe interactions, which is achieved by adopting the observer pattern to monitor state changes in a device.

  4. 4.

    The term Systems of Engagement was introduced by Geoffrey Moore in a white paper entitled: “Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT” [9].

    Docker (https://www.docker.com) is the most popular container technology.
