“…A well developed modeling language is not the same as a modeling method or modeling technique. Papers that present a new modeling approach for IoT systems with a well-defined metamodel is usually complemented with prototype tool development and relevant evaluation approach (Cicirelli et al, 2018;Mavropoulos et al, 2019;Walch and Karagiannis, 2019;Escamilla-Ambrosio et al, 2021;Seiger et al, 2021;Erazo-Garzón et al, 2022). Analysis on the methods and techniques provided insight about variety of the model based tools.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of connected objects, entities, devices, and components which share and transfer data over a network. Many papers are published on the topic of conceptual models in the IoT context, but it is difficult to assess the current status of the conceptual modeling approaches and methods for IoT systems. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art as well as discusses fundamental concepts, challenges and current research gaps with potential future agenda for conceptual modeling of IoT. Search facilities in the selected online repositories were used to identify the most relevant papers. The primary results were scanned and papers were selected according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Selected papers were assessed to extract data for the defined attributes. This paper confirms that there is a large body of research related to modeling of IoT systems. However, the results show that there is a lack of commonly agreed approaches and supporting formal methods for conceptual modeling of IoT systems. On the other hand, recent studies that apply model-based or model-driven development principles that use ontology or metamodel based approaches are promising due to systematic use of models as the primary means of a development process enabling for the dissemination of the methods further to the emerging fields such as smart cities, factories, transportation, hospitals, healthcare, hospitality and tourism, etc.

This paper adapts the Use Case Points method to estimate the size and development effort required for the Internet of Things systems. Despite the extensive use of UCP in software engineering, it has yet to be adapted for IoT systems, which is essential for project management and resource planning. Our proposed adaptation, UCP for IoT, is based on a fourlayer IoT architecture and tailors the standard software UCP to the specifications of IoT systems. It was validated using a case study of three IoT systems, demonstrating its applicability and effectiveness in estimating the development effort required for IoT projects. However, the results also highlight the need for further improvements, particularly given the absence of historical data sets for IoT projects. Our future work will focus on gathering such datasets and further refining the proposed model.
