In order to create a federation, you need to log in to the symbIoTe Core Admin webpage. Then, you have to click on the Federations -> Federations List panel and finally on the Register New Federation button on the upper right corner. Then, you need to provide the following details:

  • Preferable federation id (or leave empty for autogeneration)
  • Federation Name
  • Information model - you can use BIM (Best practice Information Model) or specify a custom FIM (Federation Information Model) after you have register it
  • Public visibility
  • One (or More) Federation Members ids
  • (Optional) QoS Constraints for SLA Monitoring
    • Metric type (for now Load or Availability)
    • Comparator
    • Threshold
    • Duration (Optional)
    • Resource Type (Optional)

Federation Registration

By following this procedure the federation will be registered in the symbIoTe Core. You will see the panel of the newly registered federation and check its details by clicking on its header.

Federation Details

All the federation members which are owned by the Platform Owner account which creates the federation will be automatically added in to the federation. All the other platforms must accept the invitation in the Federation Invitation tab.

Federation Invitation

Finally, if you want one of your platforms to leave a federation, you just need to click on the leave button next to the platform id in the Federation Members section of the Federation Details.

If there is only one platform in the federation, then the Platform Owner of that federation will also be able to delete it. If that only platform just leaves, then the Federation is also automatically deleted too.

Federation Deletion
