Problems of Reliability Assessment in Data-Driven Internet of Things

Abstract

There has been an increase in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) research endeavour. New concepts were discovered or existing ones were improved or fixed due to many novel research studies and IoT technologies in various sectors. There was also a focus on IoT security and standards for the Internet of Things. IoT applications that serve other industries, such as smart-living, industry 4.0, and e-health, are still relevant today. This paper aims to demonstrate that the Internet of Things (IoT) must be considered reliable, especially if it is data-driven IoT. Reliability of data-driven IoT is a complicated issue to solve because it involves hardware, software, people, and data, and today artificial intelligence. It is possible to calculate the reliability of an IoT system using a simple equation proposed in this paper. But the main problem is how to calculate the reliability of subsystems in this equation. Additionally, reliability is linked to availability and maintenance. The author of this paper primarily relies on two of his recent publications for the bulk of this paper's content.
