SIoTSim: Simulator for Social Internet of Things

EasyChair Preprint 11304

Abstract

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT)concept extends beyond the Internet of Things (IoT) by integrating principles from social networking to form interconnected networks of intelligent objects. This integration enables the creation of smart objects that can interpret and react to human needs and requirements, resulting in an enhanced interactive encounter. However, the complex nature of these systems presents challenges when it comes to validating their effectiveness and performance in various real-life scenarios. To overcome this challenge, this paper introduces a novel simulator called SIoTSim that provides complex simulation functionalities and presents different SIoT relationships, including Human to Human, Object to Object, and Human to Object relationships. Additionally, the simulator also models the behavior of SIoT systems in different contexts to create realistic SIoT datasets, taking into account various contextual factors, such as user behavior, interactions within social networks, and device characteristics. By using it, researchers and developers can effectively assess and analyze the performance of their SIoT systems. The insights gained from the simulation results could guide decision-making processes and facilitate the development of more efficient and reliable systems that are better suited to meet the needs of users in different contexts.
