ISO IEC 29182-6-2014 PDF

Full title and description

Information technology — Sensor networks: Sensor Network Reference Architecture (SNRA) — Part 6: Applications. This part of ISO/IEC 29182 provides a compilation of sensor-network application types for which International Standardized Profiles (ISPs) are useful, guidelines for a structured description of sensor-network applications, and illustrative examples; it does not include fully developed ISPs or drafting rules that are covered by ISO/IEC TR 10000 series.

Abstract

ISO/IEC 29182-6:2014 describes and provides: a compilation of sensor-network applications that need International Standardized Profiles (ISPs); guidance for producing structured descriptions of sensor-network applications; and examples of such structured application descriptions. It explicitly excludes fully developed ISPs and drafting rules defined in the ISO/IEC TR 10000 series.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 29182 provides: (1) a categorized compilation of sensor-network application types that would benefit from standardized profiles, (2) a template/guideline for describing these applications in a structured way to support interoperability and reuse, and (3) example application descriptions. It does not itself produce full International Standardized Profiles (ISPs) and excludes ISP drafting rules covered by ISO/IEC TR 10000.

Key topics and requirements

• Cataloguing sensor-network application domains and common application patterns.
• Guidelines and templates for structured description of applications to support development of ISPs.
• Illustrative examples of structured application descriptions to show how profiles can be derived.
• Relationship to other SNRA parts (entities, interfaces, views) and to ISP drafting guidance (ISO/IEC TR 10000 series).
• No mandatory conformance requirements — the document is informational/guidance within the SNRA series.

Typical use and users

Used by standards developers, system and solution architects, IoT and sensor-network designers, procurement/specification authors, and researchers who need a consistent way to describe sensor-network applications and to identify where International Standardized Profiles are needed.
