Explicit interaction contracts for network connected devices

摘要

A computer system is provided that includes one or more processors configured to store a plurality of software interfaces that define explicit interaction contracts between network connected devices and software services. The one or more processors are configured to execute a plurality of software services. Each software service defines one or more software interfaces operated on by that software service. The one or more processors are configured to receive, from a network connected device, a list of one or more software interfaces implemented by the network connected device, select one or more software services based on a match between the one or more software interfaces implemented by the network connected device and the one or more software interfaces operated on by the plurality of software services, and process data received from the network connected device using the selected software services.
