As you saw in the previous chapter, there are multiple consortia defining many aspects of IIoT today, especially in newer areas such as how IIoT devices communicate and are discovered. At the time of writing, there were still consortia being formed or realigning and/or changing names.
For example, the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) had become the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) and grown to over 300 members. OCF members were developing a specification, an open reference implementation (IoTivity), and a certification program.
The Object Management Group (OMG) efforts extended to several areas relevant for IIoT projects. Standards were proposed for the Data Distribution Service (DDS), Threat Modeling, a Structured Assurance Case Metamodel (SACM), a Unified Component Model (UCM) for distributed real-time and embedded systems,...
