Sisarter

Sisarter is a fictional open-source software platform designed to manage, correlate, and visualize sensor data across distributed environments, with a focus on smart cities and industrial IoT. This article presents Sisarter as a concept for illustrative purposes.

The platform is described as modular and extensible, with a core service for data ingestion, processing, storage abstraction, and analytics. It uses a plugin system for data adapters (MQTT, OPC UA, HTTP), visualization dashboards, and processing pipelines. An edge-friendly runtime can operate on devices or in the cloud, and it includes access control and audit trails to support governance.

History and development: In the fictional backstory, development began in 2019 at the Veridian Institute, with a public prototype released in 2020 and milestones 1.0 in 2021 and 2.0 in 2023, emphasizing governance and expanded protocol support.

Usage and reception: Within the fictional narrative, Sisarter is employed in pilot smart-city deployments and academic experiments, valued for interoperability and rapid prototyping, but it faces challenges such as reliance on community contributions and governance concerns.
