    The IoT World Forum (IoTWF) Standardized

    Architecture

    The IoT World Forum (IoTWF) Standardised Architecture is a set of rules that
    enable those who deal with the Internet of Things (IoT) to accomplish their jobs
    better. These recommendations were developed in 2014 by a consortium of large
    corporations, including Cisco and IBM. These guidelines are super important in the
    IoT world because they provide a way for people to create and connect IoT systems.
    It's like having a map to build and grow IoT projects, making them work well
    together and making it easier for everyone to use.

    IoTWF architecture consists of seven layers, each layer specifying a different


    purpose.

    The seven layers of the IoTWF Standardized Architecture include -

    1. Physical Devices and Controllers (Things)
    These are the actual "things" of the Internet of Things. These might be
    physical assets such as machines or equipment. These "things" in the tech sector
    might also be sensors and devices linked to these assets. Although they may not
    yet have sensors, we are heading towards increasingly interconnected systems.

    2. Connectivity
    This layer bridges the gap between the Edge Node device and the cloud,
    ensuring that the data can run smoothly. It is an important aspect since it ensures
    that data from the field may reach its destination in the cloud or on-premise. This
    layer functions as a transportation system for your IoT data, and it may take various
    routes, such as highways or backroads, to deliver your data where it needs to go.

    3. Edge Computing
    This layer, also known as "Cloud Edge" or "Cloud Gateway" computing, is crucial
    in any IoT system. Edge computing is a type of computing that occurs at or
    near the network's edge/at the device layer. Several important tasks take place
    in this layer –

     Protocol conversion - Protocol conversion is similar to having a translator


    ensure that data speaks the correct language while flowing between
    different portions of the IoT system.
     Routing - Consider routing to be traffic control. It routes data to the
    appropriate locations for processing and analysis.
     Fast Decision-Making - This layer is likewise in charge of making rapid
    decisions to keep things operating smoothly and with low delays.

    4. Data Accumulation
    IoT systems create large amounts of data, and this layer acts as a data
    storage warehouse. It is necessary since this layer stores incoming data and
    prepares data for future processing. Once the data is ready, it is sent to the next
    levels for analysis and decision-making.
    5. Data Abstraction
    We're finally making sense of the data. We collect similar data from a variety
    of sources, prioritise critical information, and prepare data for a variety of
    applications.

    6. Application Layer
    The Application Layer is where the real action happens. It's fairly simple, and
    here's what it does:

     Control and Data Logic - Consider this layer to be the control centre for
    your IoT system. It's where all the smart decisions are made.
     Wide Range of Functions - This layer performs a wide range of functions,
    including monitoring how everything works, optimising processes to
    improve them, managing alarms when something goes wrong, analysing
    data to find important patterns, setting up control rules, and even handling
    logistics and understanding consumer behaviour.

    7. Collaboration and Processes


    Finally, this layer integrates everything. It is the point at which individuals
    engage with the IoT system. Data and apps are used to make choices, optimise
    operations, and generate value. This layer connects technology to real-world
    advantages such as enhancing businesses or improving our lives.

    Conclusion
    We can accomplish some significant things with this model:

     We can divide the complex IoT challenge into smaller, more manageable
    components. It's similar to slicing a large pizza into slices to make it easier
    to consume.
     We can examine the many technologies employed at each phase and their
    interaction. It's just like knowing the ingredients needed for each part of a
    recipe.
     We may create our IoT system using components from several vendors. It's
    like designing a car with one company's engine and another's tires.
     We can devise a security strategy to ensure the safety of our IoT system. It's
    similar to having closed doors at different areas of a building's entrances to
    keep unwanted people out.
