COMPOSE Concept
The COMPOSE concept addresses to design, implement, and deploy an open, scalable marketplace, in which objects can be seamlessly turned into standardized services, combined, managed, and integrated into innovative applications. The concept behind the COMPOSE project is illustrated in IoT devices will be virtualised and published as Service Objects in the COMPOSE marketplace, thus becoming part of the Internet of Services. Service objects can be aggregated into Composite Services and Applications, which can then be accessed by users (by downloading and/or installing on their devices), advertised, or sold. Developers will be provided with an open interface and developers' service development kits for building and deploying innovative services, leveraging the management functionalities provided by the marketplace.
COMPOSE will combine state-ofthe-art solutions from a number of fields (applications market, scalable communications, semantic web, event processing, security, and service-oriented technologies) to give birth to an innovative integrated platform, enabling people and organisations to leverage IoT technologies through dynamic valueadded services.
Fraunhofer FOKUS Role
The Fraunhofer FOKUS Competence Center Future Applications and Media (FAME) is leader for work package WP6 - Open Marketplace. We will focus on the developement of an environment in which not only applications but also service objects and services can be traded. We will promotes a novel concept of trading services and service objects by sharing their interfaces between 3rd party applications which are able to run in the context of other users who are not the owners of the service object itself, Further, we will provide software components for managing the access rights for each smart object connected to the marketplace and will give the owner of the object the full control to monitor the history of each application that accesses the service object and to update the associated rights and rules for accessing the service at any time.
