AUTOMATED CONFIGURATION OF MACHINE-TO-MACHINE SYSTEMS

An apparatus comprises a gateway device. The gateway device comprises an antenna to connect to a plurality of devices over a wireless network, an interface to couple to a cloud service over a network, a processor, an internet of things, loT, orchestrator executable by the processor to receive an loT application. The loT application defines a plurality of models and interactions between the plurality of models, wherein each of the plurality of models comprises a respective abstract representation of a respective one of a plurality of device types and operational capabilities of the corresponding device type. The loT application is to use a plurality of protocols corresponding to the plurality of device types to perform a particular function. The IoT orchestrator is executable by the processor to determine a mapping of at least a subset of the plurality of devices to the plurality of device types in the set of models of the loT application, deploy a system comprising at least the subset of the plurality of devices based on the mapping and orchestrate interactions between at least the subset of the plurality of devices based on the loT application to cause the system to perform the particular function based on the loT application.
