Addressing the Faults Landscape in the Internet of Things: Toward Datacentric and System Resilience

Abstract

In the Internet of Things (IoT) context, the landscape of weaknesses in the IoT spectrum sheds light on addressing faults by researchers due to the number of IoT components that unveil immense vulnerabilities to failures. Hence, there is a need to comprehend the faults dynamics to facilitate identifying potential hazards in a developer’s design, deliver methodologies to mitigate the risks, and ensure the data quality and resiliency of the IoT’s deployment. This article comprehensively aims to analyze faults occurrences in the IoT, their impacts on functionality, and their repercussions on data. It highlights the intricate patterns of data faults by addressing various aspects, such as duration, cause, pitfalls, component, type, and source.
