rchitecture (DSA), is an open source IoT platform that facilitates device inter-communication, logic and applications at every layer of the Internet of Things infrastructure. The objective is to unify the disparate devices, services and applications into a structured and adaptable real-time data model. The premise of the open source DSA initiative is to build a community of manufacturers, makers and solution providers that will contribute to an ever-expanding library ofs which allow protocol translation and data integration to and from 3rd party data-sources.
DSBroker broadcasts the presence and data-structures of connected DSLinks to other subscribing DSLinks and DSBrokers.
DSLink enables data exchange with other connected nodes by abstracting field-bus and unknown protocols.
nodeAPI, also known as IOT Blueprint, is the common open communication method for all DSA modules.
Distributed Services Architecture (DSA) allows for purpose-built products and services (i.e. DSLinks) to interact with one another in a decentralized manner. This architecture enables a network architect to distribute functionality between discrete computing resources. A network topology consisting of multiple DSLinks running on edge devices connected to a tiered hierarchy of brokers allows the system as a whole to be scalable, resilient to failure and take advantage of all computing resources available to it from the edge, the datacenter, the cloud and everything in between.
