A Proposal of a Method for Prototyping M2M/IoT Systems based on Ideas and its Applications

Abstract

M2M (Machine to Machine) / IoT (Internet of Things) systems are expected to be used in various application areas such as social infrastructure, industrial automation, and health and medical care. Prototyping of M2M/IoT systems is an effective way to embody the idea on the systems and to examine their feasibility. This paper describes a method for prototyping of M2M/IoT systems, which consists of how to embody the idea of them, how to select their components and how to build them using a framework, so that people can easily construct M2M/IoT systems to solve their problems. This paper also describes three different applications of this method, which proves its effectiveness.
