In April, the article “Designing and constructing internet-of-Things systems: An overview of the ecosystem” was published by João Pedro Dias from BUILT CoLAB (this article is the result of his work as part of the PhD he has just completed at FEUP – Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto), together with André Restivo (LIACC – FEUP’s Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Laboratory) and Hugo Sereno Ferreira (INESC TEC and FEUP).
This article will be published in volume 16 of Elsevier’s journal “Internet of Things; Engineering Cyber Physical Human Systems” in August 2022.
Article Abstract
«The current complexity of IoT systems and devices is a barrier to reach a healthy ecosystem, mainly due to technological fragmentation and inherent heterogeneity. Meanwhile, the field has scarcely adopted any engineering practices currently employed in other types of large-scale systems. Although many researchers and practitioners are aware of the current state of affairs and strive to address these problems, compromises have been hard to reach, making them settle for sub-optimal solutions. This paper surveys the current state of the art in designing and constructing IoT systems from the software engineering perspective, without overlooking hardware concerns, revealing current trends and research directions.»
