Functional and nonfunctional characteristics of software systems are defined by their architecture. Therefore, research streams such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) or component-based software engineering provide researchers and practitioners with construction guidelines for selected architectural characteristics. Current systems can be categorized in delivering services to the user and being engineered in a smart way. For example, services being provided by IoT-Systems must fulfill users’ goals in a highly dynamic and ad-hoc way. Consequently, this survey aims at answering various research questions regarding the methodical composition of system components and services. Furthermore, new research opportunities are sketched that should be tackled to make the scientific progress available to practitioners. Based on a systematic literature review from a software architecture point of view, in this paper we identify 75 primary studies for domain-specific IoT component composition approaches and architectures. Initial results show that current integration approaches mainly focus on performance evaluation of their integration solutions, which may be too narrow for fulfilling user goals by utilizing of IoT architectures.
