Abstract
This paper presents some design aspects of the EMULSION IoT platform, developed as a typical example of the horizontal IoT platforms. The architectural overview and multi-tiered structure of the platform are described, with special attention being paid to its modelling & simulation tier as a novel architectural element proposed for inclusion in similar IoT platforms. Used to model cyber-physical-social (CPS) objects and IoT services, along with their attributes and temporal/spatial/event characteristics, this tier is also utilized to simulate the actual provision of IoT services in order to determine the optimal configuration of the platform in each particular use case, by solving complex optimization tasks. Examples of such tasks are presented in the paper along with some results obtained to date.
