Title: APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT IN INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS
Abstract: A gateway or corresponding computing device acting as a gateway in an IoTSP system, for example, is provided with one or more application configurations, an application configuration being associated with or included in one or more information models, an information model describing metadata and properties of a Thing it models. When the gateway receives type information from a Thing not yet connected to the gateway, it determines corresponding information model; causes sending one or more application configuration associated with or included in the information model to the Thing; creates an instance for the Thing; and associates the instance with the information model.

Claims: number: 1
text: A computerized method comprising:
number: 2
text: A computerized method as claimed in claim 1,
detecting, by the computing device, an update to an application configuration;
determining, by the computing device, one or more information models associated with the application configuration;
determining, by the computing device, one or more instances associated with the one or more information models; and
updating, by the computing device, the one or more instances and/or the application configuration in one or more Things corresponding to the one or more instances.
number: 3
text: A computerized method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, further comprising:
number: 4
text: A computerized method as claimed in claim 3, further comprising:
number: 5
text: A computer program product comprising program instructions, which, when run on a computing apparatus, causes the computing apparatus to perform a method as claimed in any preceding claim.
number: 6
text: A gateway node comprising means for implementing a method as claimed in any of claims 1 to 4.
number: 7
text: A system forming an Industrial Internet of Things, the system comprising:
number: 8
text: A system as claimed in claim 7, wherein, in response to an update to an application configuration,
the first gateways are configured to forward the update using the child information;
the second gateways are configured to determine instances associated with the information model the application that is updated relates to, and to update the instances and/or forward the update to corresponding Things; and
the Things are configured, in response to receiving the update, to update the application.
