Arrowhead Tools - Open Source Platform for IoT and System of Systems

The Arrowhead Framework enables the design and implementation of automation systems in application domains such as production, smart cities, e-mobility, energy, and buildings. It was created to efficiently address Industry 4.0 requirements, primarily through scalable, secure, and flexible information sharing that enables system interoperability and integration. To achieve these goals, the SOA architecture abstracts each interface that exchanges information as a service. Instead of hardwiring the connections, it enables loose coupling, late binding, and lookups to discover services. The Eclipse Arrowhead project was created to provide long-term governance and promotion of the Arrowhead Framework, a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with a reference implementation for Internet of Things (IoT) interoperability that was originally developed as part of the Arrowhead Tools European research project.
