A METHOD FOR COMPOSING AN APPLICATION USING A PLURALITY OF DISTRIBUTED INTERACTION PATTERNS

The present invention relates to a method for composing an application using a plurality of distributed interaction patterns including services, events, actions and properties. A second semantic model or Thing Recipe is provided as a basis for representing the application. This Thing Recipe provides a concept for orchestration or choreography of interaction patterns distributed across a network. The process from a specification of the Thing Recipe to its deployment is considerable shorter than the implementation and orchestration of web service. The Thing Recipe is not only interpretable but also executable. The semantic approach of the Thing Recipe enables a formal representation capable of a machine-based discovery of the application functionality and, at the same time, a machine interpretation and execution. This means that a Thing Recipe can be directly executed in any device that has an embedded runtime with reasoning capabilities.
