A Discussion of Key IoT Enablement Principles and Some Simple Use Cases
Has my goal been reached?
Measure, Model, and Manage.
Now it all makes sense.
This is the chapter you’ve been waiting for, where we bounce out of the technical gobbledygook and look at the bigger picture of the IoT ecosystem. If you’re planning on tackling a business problem, this chapter will help you bring together the concepts you’ve learned.
What You’ll Learn in This Chapter
All technology-enabled systems do something, and they generally share some common characteristics. They also share a set of core requirements that—for the most part—can be abstracted into groups. I’ll call these IoT ecosystem enablers and discuss them next.
IoT Ecosystem Enablers
Most systems comprise more than just categorized requirements and architecture, however, so it’s helpful to think about the enablers that facilitate a robust, integrated platform—not only technically but also systematically. This requires considering a broader range of requirement categories, as well as processes to ensure consistency. You can think of these requirement categories as interdependent enablers, as shown in Figure 12-1.
