Simulation-based Testing and Compliance Monitoring for IoT Systems

物联网设想通过互联网或其他网络技术将大量嵌入传感器和执行器的智能设备互连的复杂系统。据估计，到2023年，物联网设备将占全球所有联网设备的一半。物联网的主要价值主张是控制和监控能力的大幅扩展，使企业能够将数据转换为可操作的智能并改进运营决策。在安大略省物联网公司Stratosfy和渥太华大学之间的这个拟议的行业-学术界项目中，我们将设计高保真物联网模拟器，并利用这些模拟器来检测业务运营中的异常以及确保满足合规性要求。在整个项目中进行的研究与Stratosfy的需求密切相关，因此有望提高公司的竞争力和盈利能力。为了证明项目成果的有用性，我们将在Stratosfy的真实系统上对成果进行基准测试。虽然受到Stratosfy优先事项的推动，但该项目将直接引起更广泛的物联网社区的兴趣，并指出该项目所解决的挑战是更广泛的物联网系统所共有的。这项研究将在渥太华大学新成立的物联网实验室（https：//www.example.com）进行。www.uoIoT.ca该实验室是加拿大第一个致力于提高物联网应用可信度的研究实验室。该项目产生的HQP将在面临软件工程和物联网合格员工短缺的国家IT劳动力市场中拥有非常抢手的技能。

IoT envisions complex systems that interconnect a plethora of smart devices, embedded with sensors and actuators, through the Internet or other network technology. It is estimated that by 2023, IoT devices will account for half of all networked devices worldwide. The main value proposition of IoT is a dramatic expansion of control and monitoring capabilities, allowing businesses to transform data into actionable intelligence and improved operational decisions. In this proposed industry-academia project between the Ontario-based IoT company, Stratosfy, and the University of Ottawa, we will devise high-fidelity IoT simulators and utilize these simulators both for detecting anomalies in business operations as well as for ensuring the fulfillment of compliance requirements. The research conducted throughout the project closely aligns with Stratosfy's needs and is thus expected to increase the company's competitiveness and profitability. To demonstrate the usefulness of the project outcomes, we will benchmark the outcomes on real-world systems at Stratosfy. While motivated by Stratosfy's priorities, the project will be of direct interest to the broader IoT community at large, noting that the challenges addressed by the project are common to a much wider set of IoT systems. The research will be conducted at the University of Ottawa's newly founded IoT lab (https://www.uoIoT.ca). This lab is the first Canadian research laboratory of its kind dedicated to improving the trustworthiness of IoT applications. The HQP resulting from this project will possess highly sought-after skills in a national IT labour market that is facing a shortage of qualified staff in software engineering and IoT.
