So, its a distributed system architecture using SOA principles. Looks like there's some hand-waving about implementing a couple of obvious interfaces when applying this technical approach to IoT.

From what I gathered - this "framework" is nothing but a specification, and doesn't actually do anything for you.

Am I missing something?
