“…IoT is also an integral technology in future smart homes, smart buildings and smart cities [15,46,65,66] where IoT devices are expected to cooperate, actively share energy, and participate in energy management [31,39]. In addition to object-object interaction, the IoT design must also consider human-object, human-environment and human-human interactions [20,21]. As an ST ensemble, IoT and smart grids should be embedded into society to build new communities of empowered users with an emphasis on contextual design, so that the technologies will be adapted to different psychological, social, legal, policy factors considering actual adoption possibilities (in contrast to designing intrusive technology) [37,50].…”

In traditional engineering, technologies are viewed as the core of the engineering design, in a physical world with a large number of diverse technological artefacts. The real world, however, also includes a huge number of social components -people, communities, institutions, regulations and everything that exists in the human mind -that have shaped and been shaped by the technological components. Smart urban ecosystems are examples of large-scale Socio-Technical Systems (STS) that rely on technologies, in particular on the Internet-of-Things (IoT), within a complex social context where the technologies are embedded. Designing applications that embed both social complexity and IoT in large-scale STS requires a Socio-Technical (ST) approach, which has not yet entered the mainstream of design practice. This chapter reviews the literature and presents our experience of adopting an ST approach to the design of a community-oriented smart grid application. It discusses the challenges, process and outcomes of this apporach, and provides a set of lessons learned derived from this experience that are also deemed relevant to the design of other smart urban ecosystems.

“…Its characteristics were comprehensive beyond general applications since they had no limits of time and place [4]. Guo, et al [5] presented an IoT framework which was initiated by human to build decentralized ad hoc networks for information sharing. IoT has been used in industrial contexts with the help of Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol [6].…”

This paper presents a straightforward solution to an existing internet service so as to enhance its reliability and safety. As the internet society proliferates, myriad of applications, services, and devices are added. Variations among these "things" become unmanageably incompatible. The advent of the Internet of Things or IoT has shed some light on the interoperability issue of these hodgepodges. The proposed framework thus rests on these IoT to achieve such objectives without having to reinvent the wheel or resort to any complex cost-ridden devices and software to operate. The principle is to set up an activity framework that integrates necessary devices to support the designated functionality. This in turn runs on mobile network to serve the internet community. A case study on taxi service apps, having CCTV, GPS, and other monitoring devices and software, is conducted to gauge the viability of the proposed framework. The survey result shows that users are concerned with a few reliability and IoT connectivity factors, namely, cost, schedule, delay, number of vehicles and their proximity. The prospect is promising to broaden the proposed framework in other means of transportation.

Abstract-As technology continues to advance, the need to create benchmark or standards for systems becomes a necessity so as to ensure that these new advanced systems functions at its maximum capacity over a long period of time without any failure, fault or errors occurring. The internet of things technology promises a broad range of exciting products and services, with car tracking technology as part of the broad range of technological concept under the internet of things paradigm. The car tracking technology involves deploying some basic internet of things components into the tracking of important transportation component; the basic principle behind any technological concept involves delivery of high quality product that conforms to specifications. In this paper, the concept and technological description about the internet of things is discussed with emphasis on the principal functional component, this is to enable a broaden conceptualization about car tracking technology because it needs to function correctly, at all time. The concept of reliability engineering is also discussed in respect to an important quality factor, which entails that systems must function correctly without fault, failure or errors, it provides benchmark, principles, or standards in which the internet of things system must possess for an increased quality assurance.
