Abstract
As technology evolves to the Internet of Things (IoT), understanding context of the information about and from those things can be challenging. Numerous distributed heterogeneous devices reporting large quantities of data, and that may be interconnected to provide evolving services to multiple stakeholders will be characteristic of IoT ecosystems. Although the IoT is in the incubation phase, we can gain perspectives from current Networks of Things. In this article the author defines characteristics of complex domains that affect network management, including a case study of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Airspace System (NAS). Today’s tools, standards, and models are not sufficient to capture operating domain knowledge consistent to these characteristics. The author offers a new model to serve as a framework to obtain domain knowledge context for the individual resources and their applicable services, while simplifying complexity needed for effective maintenance management.
