“…After defining the concepts related to capabilities composition and decomposition, we present in this subsection different motivations or problems that encouraged us to perform this SLR study. While working on new frameworks for capabilities composition in IoT and CPS [193] and studying related use cases [224], we recognized that this topic could be better organized under a taxonomy with three major aspects: Formal, Technical, and QoS. This taxonomy is the first motivation or problem to be addressed for this work as it helps simplify this topic's numerous aspects and subaspects (Section IV-A).…”

“…This effort began in April 2018 and will cover the publications on the topic until May 2022. Our interest has grown in service composition while studying composition frameworks [193] and the composition of novel capabilities in the smart building domain [224]. This survey adopts the SLR methodology: Section I introduces the topic of the study; Section II provides related work and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of previous efforts; Section III explains the SLR methodology, including the primary studies selection process and pointing out research questions; Section IV presents the taxonomy of the study, as well as the primary studies, results in a tabulated format; Section V provides answers and a discussion of the SLR questions mentioned in Section III and highlights trends and gaps in the topic as well as threats to this SLR's validity; and Section VI concludes this study by highlighting main achievements while mentioning benefits to different stakeholders and providing a glimpse into our future work.…”

As billions of IoT devices join the Internet, researchers and innovators increasingly explore IoT capabilities achieved via service composition or reuse of existing capabilities via service decomposition. Many systematic literature reviews (SLRs) were produced on this subject; however, two issues remain to be addressed: i) a reference taxonomy of the different aspects of IoT capabilities composition and decomposition is needed, and ii) many formal questions (e.g., standards role, formal representations applications, state-space explosion countermeasures, etc.), technical questions (e.g., composition process types and automation levels synergies, service decomposition categories, the role of AI/ML, etc.), and QoS questions (e.g., privacy, interoperability, and scalability challenges and solutions, etc.) remain unanswered. We introduce this work by discussing notions of IoT capabilities composition and decomposition in a layered IoT architecture while highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of existing SLRs. We identify unanswered questions through gaps in related work and motivate these questions using the PICOC methodology. We explain the search methodology and organize the topic questions using the proposed reference taxonomy. The identified research questions are answered, and trends and gaps that need additional attention from the research community are highlighted. This effort benefits city planners and end-users of IoT systems as it contributes to a better understanding of the role of composition and decomposition of IoT capabilities in building valueadded services or reusing existing ones for resource optimization. For researchers, this effort contributes a reference taxonomy for the topic and sheds light on important questions while highlighting corresponding trends and gaps requiring further attention.

“…The holonic architecture enables CS discoverability [8], dynamic SoS composition [9], and ad-hoc scalability [10]. However, the holonic architecture needs to provide the decision-making capabilities and adaptability to adapt to the changes in the surrounding ecosystem effectively [11]. Furthermore, current software development tools and methods must provide intuitive ways for holistically programming interactions among all the smart ecosystem participants, including systems, devices, robots, and humans.…”

As digital ecosystems evolve into increasingly complex networks, harnessing their collective potential becomes paramount. This article focuses on developing software for smart ecosystems by programming their underlying System-of-Systems (SoS)—a domain ripe with opportunities and challenges. We propose the Holon Programming Model (HPM), which adds the programmability aspect to the holonic architecture of SoS and will pave the way for more integrated and adaptable systems. Demonstrating the HPM’s utility, we show how developers can program diverse behaviours and execute operations within the disaster management ecosystem, aiming to inspire and motivate software developers to explore the potential of SoS-level applications, which are fundamental for smart ecosystems.
