Abstract
A computing system is disclosed that generates a model of managed devices and applications in an Internet of Things (IOT) system by the following steps: identifying each endpoint in the managed devices and applications that can transmit or receive data, and defining a data flow from an endpoint in a sensor via an endpoint of a programmable edge device application to an endpoint of an IOT server. The computing system can develop a data flow graph to define the connection of the programmable edge device application to the sensor and the server in the IOT system so as to exchange data from the sensor to the server in the IOT system via the programmable edge device application. The computing system can configure the managed devices and applications in the IOT system based on the data flow graph prompts, which implement the connection of the programmable edge device application to the sensor and the server in the IOT system.
