Title: SOFIE — architecture, modelling and analysis

Talk abstract: SOFIE is an EU H2020 IoT project starting in January 2018, with both AUEB and Aalto as partners. In his talk, Pekka will first very briefly introduce the SOFIE project, assuming that most of the audience already have some background and may have read the white paper draft (https://mm.aueb.gr/tr/Sofie.pdf). After that, he will dive a little bit deeper in describing his current thoughts about the SOFIE architecture and what Aalto is currently planning there. In the end of his talk, Pekka will try to entice some discussion about the expected modelling and analysis needs in SOFIE.
