The initial results from the COSMOS survey regarding IoT related SLA metrics has a number of useful conclusions. If you have not participated up to now, we are currently undergoing the receipt of the final stage of inputs!!!

Initially the scope of the survey was deemed successful, since the need for having SLAs at the IoT level was considered as at least important by 75% of respondents. Sensing and data delivery services (as was expected due to the IoT context) were considered the more relevant for SLAs. Standardization of descriptions was also indicated as a must by 75% of the respondents

Key needed attributes have also been identified per category, such as sensor capabilities, data availability and latency, while other more exotic features (such as prediction horizon for estimation services) were also acknowledged. More information is included in the detailed graphs!
