The FIWARE platform provides common data models, interfaces and services to manage heterogeneous IoT devices and technologies. It includes components for data acquisition, processing, analytics and visualization. Key components are the Context Broker for managing context data and the Short Term Historic component for storing historical context information. The architecture also describes southbound integration with IoT devices using IoT Agents and complex event processing using Perseo.
