THE METHOD OF SELECTING A HARDWARE-SOFTWARE IоT-PLATFORM TAKING TO ACCOUNT THE FACTORS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND COST

Abstract

In the paper proposes a method for increasing the efficiency of the decision-making process for the selection of software and hardware platforms for the implementation of projects in the IoT-sphere that taking into account maximum functionality and acceptable cost. The efficiency of the process of selecting an appropriate platform can be achieved by minimizing the time it takes to select an IoT platform. The implementation of the method involves the creation of an automated system for selecting IoT-platforms that interacts with the classification database. The procedure for creation of a database of classification characteristic of IoT-platforms, which represented on the market, is formalized. For creation database is using the facet classification method. There is developed the procedure for creation facet formulas that is taking into account the functional features of IoT-platforms. As a criterion for selecting IoT-platforms there is used a set of user-defined parameters. The principle of work the automated system is formalized in the form of an algorithm.
