  In this paper, we propose an approach for the automated translation of
application-level requirements regarding the logical workflow and its QoS into
a configuration of the underlying network substrate. Our goal is to facilitate
the integration of QoS constraints in the development of industrial IoT
applications to make them more reliable. We follow an approach based on two
semantic models: The first model allows to design the workflow of an IoT
application and to express application-level QoS requirements on its
interactions. The second model captures the configuration of a network and can
be used as input to a north-bound interface of an SDN controller. Finally, we
make use of rule-based semantic reasoning to automatically translate from the
application requirements into SDN parameters.
