论文摘要
物联网（IoT）是指通过Internet互连物理对象。它利用复杂的后端系统，根据系统的要求，需要不同的功能。物联网已经用于各种应用程序，例如农业，智能家居，健康，汽车和智能电网。有许多物联网平台，每个平台都能为此类应用程序提供特定的服务。但是，找到应用程序和平台之间的最佳匹配是一项艰巨的任务，因为它很难理解平台之间小差异的含义。本文以先前的工作为基础，该工作已经确定了IoT平台的21个重要因素，这些因素已通过Delphi方法进行了验证。我们在这里证明如何使用这些因素来区分五个知名的物联网平台，这些平台是根据其市场份额任意选择的。这些结果说明了建议的方法如何提供客观方法，该方法可用于根据其特定要求为不同业务应用程序选择最合适的物联网平台。
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of physical objects via the Internet. It utilises complex back-end systems which need different capabilities depending on the requirements of the system. IoT has already been used in various applications, such as agriculture, smart home, health, automobiles, and smart grids. There are many IoT platforms, each of them capable of providing specific services for such applications. Finding the best match between application and platform is, however, a hard task as it can difficult to understand the implications of small differences between platforms. This paper builds on previous work that has identified twenty-one important factors of an IoT platform, which were verified by Delphi method. We demonstrate here how these factors can be used to discriminate between five well known IoT platforms, which are arbitrarily chosen based on their market share. These results illustrate how the proposed approach provides an objective methodology that can be used to select the most suitable IoT platform for different business applications based on their particular requirements.
