Typical Problem Statement

• Need to aggregate data from diverse devices,
  process it, and present it to various parts of
  command, control or decision making organizations
• Current methodologies, are typically proprietary
  integration solutions, are not cost effective
• Effective solutions should be based on a
  Services Oriented Architecture at the device
  level. This way, standards could be applied that
  manufacturers could follow to allow new sensors,
  actuators and complex devices to be integrated
  effectively.
• Legacy sensors/actuators also need a way to be
  integrated in a cost effective manner.
• SODA model shifts the burden of creating an
  integration interface from the enterprise and
  system integrators, to appropriate point in the
  manufacturer supply chain
• Enterprise can focus on higher level
  functionality
• Enterprise doesnt have to maintain expertise in
  low-level subject areas
• More investment can be directed at interactions
  can take place between the business logic and the
  devices themselves.

Open Source Proposal

• Architecture and implementations have proven
  highly
• effective in a range of complex device-based
  solutions
• Components in use today in SODA-like products
  and solutions
• Community approach can provide supply chain
  incentives and accelerate standards-based
  services at SOA level
• Initiated
• Open source contribution of product-level device
  adapter components based on Eclipse and
  Equinox/OSGi (with tooling)
• Open source contribution of SODA reference
  implementation
