A Reference Architecture for the Internet of
Things

• With an exponential number of devices and
  services connecting to the internet at any given
  moment, Internet of Things (IoT) has become a
  rapidly evolving space in the industry. From
  smart phones to smart cars, to smart homes, the
  increase in devices and associated technologies
  in IoT ensures the need for a modular
  architecture that not only copes with, but also
  supports on-demand extensions in capabilities.

• WSO2s white paper on the subject A Reference
  Architecture for the Internet of Things includes
  an overview of IoT, the challenges encountered
  within the space, and validates the requirement
  for a cloud/ server-side architecture that
  monitors, manages and interacts with IoT devices.
  
• The paper proposes a design for a Reference
  Architecture that is scalable, adaptable, and
  which can also be mapped on to the existing WSO2
  middleware platform. You can check our slide deck
  for a better understanding of the subject.
• WSO2s Open Platform for IoT demonstrates how
  WSO2s inherently multi-tenant, completely
  modular open-source enterprise platform can
  provide all capabilities needed for the
  server-side of an IoT architecture.
