The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as an important concept, bridging the physical and digital worlds through interconnected devices. Although the idea of interconnected devices predates the term “Internet of Things”, which was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, the vision of a seamlessly integrated world of devices has been accelerated by advancements in wireless technologies, cost-effective computing, and the ubiquity of mobile devices. This study aims to provide an in-depth review of existing and emerging IoT simulators focusing on their capabilities and real-world applications, and discuss the current challenges and future trends in the IoT simulation area. Despite substantial research in the IoT simulation domain, many studies have a narrow focus, leaving a gap in comprehensive reviews that consider broader IoT development metrics, such as device mobility, energy models, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and scalability. Notably, there is a lack of literature examining IoT simulators’ capabilities in supporting renewable energy sources and their integration with Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) simulations. Our review seeks to address this gap, evaluating the ability of IoT simulators to simulate complex, large-scale IoT scenarios and meet specific developmental requirements, as well as examining the current challenges and future trends in the field of IoT simulation. Our systematic analysis has identified several significant gaps in the current literature. A primary concern is the lack of a generic simulator capable of effectively simulating various scenarios across different domains within the IoT environment. As a result, a comprehensive and versatile simulator is required to simulate the diverse scenarios occurring in IoT applications. Additionally, there is a notable gap in simulators that address specific security concerns, particularly battery depletion attacks, which are increasingly relevant in IoT systems. Furthermore, there is a need for further investigation and study regarding the integration of IoT simulators with traffic simulation for VANET environments. In addition, it is noteworthy that renewable energy sources are underrepresented in IoT simulations, despite an increasing global emphasis on environmental sustainability. As a result of these identified gaps, it is imperative to develop more advanced and adaptable IoT simulation tools that are designed to meet the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of the IoT domain.

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its integration into various industries has made it extremely challenging to guarantee IoT systems’ dependability and quality, including scalability, dynamicity, and integration with existing IoT frameworks. However, the essential principles, approaches, and advantages of model-driven IoT testing indicate a promising strategy for overcoming these. This paper proposes a metamodeling-based interoperability and integration testing approach for IoT systems that automates the creation of test cases and the assessment of system performance by utilizing formal models to reflect the behavior and interactions of IoT systems. The proposed model-based testing enables the systematic verification and validation of complex IoT systems by capturing the essential characteristics of IoT devices, networks, and interactions. This study describes the key elements of model-driven IoT testing, including the development of formal models, methods for generating test cases, and the execution and assessment of models. In addition, it examines various modeling formalisms and their use in IoT testing, including state-based, event-driven, and hybrid models. This study examines several methods for creating test cases to ensure thorough and effective testing, such as constraint-based strategies and model coverage requirements. Model-driven IoT testing improves defect detection, expands test coverage, decreases testing effort, and increases system reliability. It also offers an organized and automated method to confirm the efficiency and dependability of IoT systems.

“…More emphasis was placed on traffic management and road safety. Similarly, a DSL, called SimulateIoT-Mobile, an extension of SimulateIoT that includes support for simulating IoT systems with mobile nodes was introduced in (Barriga et al, 2023). Although the main domain of the proposed DSL is mobile devices rather than the public transportation overall, an IoT simulation of personal mobility devices (PMD) based on public bicycles was also considered as one of the examples in this study.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a very promising domain and it is one of the leading technologies used in the public transportation in recent years. However, in addition to the heterogeneity and high complexity problems which are usually observed in the development of IoT systems, the specific needs of public transportation domain make the construction of such systems even harder for the public transportation. This paper proposes the use of a domain-specific modelling language (DSML), called DSML4PT, to facilitate the design and implementation of IoT-based public transportation systems. A metamodel is introduced that enables modeling IoT-based applications according to the different viewpoints and leads to the model-driven engineering of such applications for different IoT-based public transportation platforms. Furthermore, originated from this metamodel, design and implementation of the DSML4PT language with including its syntax and semantics definitions are all discussed in this paper. Use of this DSML supports both the design of the IoT-based public transportation software graphically and the automatic generation of the code required for the implementation. Based on the conducted case study, it has been observed that 80% of a public transportation application can be generated only with using DSML4PT.
