Presentation showed in the Global Wireless Summit 2013 event, about the BETaaS Platform Architecture. It defines the main features provided and the design proposed for implementing such features in a distributed platform.

1. An Architecture for a Platform
Providing Things As A Service
GWS 2013
Fco. Javier Nieto (ATOS)

2. 2
• Propose an architecture which accommodates
all the BETaaS capabilities
• Include all the BETaaS conceptual model
elements
• Design an extensible and scalable architecture
which will facilitate the BETaaS extended
capabilities (security, reliability, dependability,
QoS)
Main Principles

Other Features
• The architecture is fully compatible with OSGi
• It is extensible and allows integrating different
M2M Frameworks  Add support to new devices
and add new functionalities
• Deployment can be adapted to the physical
capabilities of the Gateways
• It is possible to evolve the architecture adding
support to new devices and functionalities
