Abstract
Networks of the future will contain a vast array of sensors and actuators which users will wish to interact with. Orchestrating this task effectively and efficiently will be one of the major challenges facing the deployment of these future networks. We propose a three-tier architecture which provides a middleware to resolve high-level service requests from applications to low-level sensor or actuator actions. Our architecture is designed around the core principle of horizontalization, that is, breaking apart vertically integrated silos into their component parts, thus allowing flexible recombination and reuse of data & services.
