Towards IoT Orchestrations with Security, Privacy, Dependability and Interoperability Guarantees

The advent of the Internet of Things opens a plethora of possibilities, provided the research and industry communities are able to overcome a number of challenges such as the dynamicity, scalability, heterogeneity and end-to-end security and privacy requirements of such environments. Motivated by these challenges, this paper proposes leveraging architectural patterns to provide, in an integrated manner, security, dependability, privacy, and interoperability guarantees, across horizontal and vertical compositional structures of IoT applications. The pattern language design process and definition is presented, along with an implementation enabling the automated, pattern-driven property verification and adaptation of IoT orchestrations.
