            9.2.3   Reliable application support capabilities

            The reliable application support capabilities extend the application support capabilities of the IoT
            basic capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401], in order to provide reliable application support to the
            IoT applications.

            The reliable application support capabilities include the reliable programmable interface provision
            capability, the reliable group management capability, the reliable time synchronization capability
            and the reliable user management capability.
            The reliable programmable interface provision capability enables the reliable service platform to
            guarantee  correct  ways  of  providing  or  customizing  services  making  use  of  existing  capabilities
            based on the IoT application requirements [C-3-1].
            The reliable group management capability enables the reliable service platform to guarantee correct
            ways of creating, modifying, deleting and querying IoT groups and of adding, modifying, deleting
            and querying IoT group members based on the requirements of the IoT applications and predefined
            rules [C-3-2].

            The  reliable  time  synchronization  capability  enables  the  reliable  service  platform  to  guarantee
            correct ways of synchronizing the time among related functional components, in order to support
            global or local time stamping for the IoT applications [C-3-3].

            The  reliable  orchestration  capability  enables  the  reliable  service  platform,  the  reliable  end-user
            devices  and  the  reliable  IoT  gateways  to  guarantee  correct  ways  of  coordinating  service
            provisioning based on the requirements of the IoT applications and predefined rules [C-3-4].

            The reliable user management capability enables the reliable service platform to guarantee correct
            ways  of  creating,  querying,  updating  and  deleting  IoT  user  profiles  and  of  authenticating,
            authorizing, registering and auditing IoT users based on predefined rules [C-3-5].

            In addition to the above capabilities, the application support operation acknowledgement capability
            numbered as C-3-6 in [ITU-T Y.4401], is also part of reliable application support capabilities.

            9.2.4   Reliable data management capabilities

            The reliable data management capabilities extend the data management capabilities of the IoT basic
            capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401], in order to support reliable data management to the IoT
            applications.

            The  reliable  data  management  capabilities  include  the  reliable  data  processing  capability,  the
            reliable information exchange capability and the reliable autonomic data operation capability.

            The reliable data processing capability enables the reliable IoT data server to guarantee trustable
            results  of  data  fusion  and  mining  based  on  the  IoT  application  requirements  and  predefined
            rules [C-4-1].

            The  reliable  information  exchange  capability  enables  the  reliable  IoT  data  server  to  guarantee
            correct ways of sending data to or receiving data from external data sources, e.g., data centres and
            data  servers  outside  the  IoT,  based  on  the  IoT  application  requirements  and  predefined  rules
            [C-4-2].
            The reliable autonomic data operation capability enables the reliable IoT data server, the reliable
            end-user  devices  and  the  reliable  IoT  gateways,  to  guarantee  correct  ways  of  automatically
            collecting,  aggregating,  transferring,  storing,  analyzing  data  of  things,  as  well  as  automatically
            managing  these  data  operations  based  on  the  IoT  application  requirements  and  predefined  rules
            [C-4-3].
