  • Abstract
    • Given the high heterogeneity, complexity and expensive nature of Internet of Things (IoT) environments, their scenarios are usually simulated before they are developed and deployed. However, current simulation tools and the underlying models on which these simulators are based often present significant variations between simulated results and real-life assessments. To address this challenge, the Hardware in the Loop (HiL) technique has been employed over time. HiL involves integrating actual hardware into a simulated environment, thereby creating a hybrid system that combines both simulated and physical components. As a layer composed of real hardware, sensitive devices that need to be accurately assessed can be deployed in the same way as they would be in the final system, leading to more reliable results than those purely based on mathematical simulation models. In this study, a model-driven IoT simulator, SimulateIoT, has been extended to incorporate HiL for realistic test scenarios. During this work, a comprehensive analysis of the novel combination of Model-Driven Development (MDD) and HiL techniques for simulating IoT systems has also been undertaken. Finally, to validate the applicability of the proposal, an excerpt of an IoT system based on a generic smart building is presented.
