Abstract

We can perceive the advent of smart living spaces attributed to the fast emerging of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. By combining with the blockchain technology, many innovative business models can be brought into reality. This chapter examines the state of the art and design issues of IoT and the blockchain integration from software architecture perspective. In particular, four typical architectural styles for such systems are presented and discussed. The presented architectural styles are useful for helping developers make appropriate design decisions.
