The Reliability of Data-driven Internet of Things Systems

The goal of this paper is to show that reliability in the data-driven Internet of Things (IoT) must be taken into account. The reliability of data-driven IoT is a complex problem because such a system is comprised of hardware, software, human and data. The reliability of each of these elements is shortly analysed, and the equation for the reliability calculation of a data-driven IoT system is proposed. Artificial intelligence is also included. Reliability is connected with availability and maintainability, and this is also explained. This paper is written mainly using two references recently published by the author of this paper.
