Many Internet of Things (IoT) -based networks are being built to develop applications spanning multiple domains. Many small to large devices connected in various ways increases the risk of IoT networks failing. Small devices in the devices layer frequently fail due to their small size and high usage. Intermittent failures of the IoT networks lead to catastrophes at times. The IoT systems must be designed to be fault-tolerant. Fault tolerance of IoT networks must be computable so that the same can be considered while designing IoT networks. However, the computation of fault tolerance of IoT networks is complex, especially when heterogeneous structures are used for building a specific IoT network. Fault tree-based models are not suitable for computing fault-tolerance of complex models, which requires probability assessment. Hybrid fault tolerance computing models have been presented in this paper that consider both linear and probabilistic methods of computing the fault tolerance considering many complex networking topologies used in each layer of IoT networks. The fault-tolerance computing models are formal methods that can be used to compute the fault tolerance of any IoT network built with any internal processing. The accuracy of fault tolerance computing is 12.9% higher than other methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
