Abstract

Buildings in large cities are becoming more and more intelligent with the adoption of IoT devices. The IoT sensors and actuators must be efficient as malfunctions can cause major damage to property and perhaps loss of life. To assess the performance of building monitoring systems, some studies have used analytical models. However, some points have not yet been explored in the literature, such as computational capacity analysis, representation of the number of cores per machine and sensors grouped by location. This work proposes a queuing model to evaluate the performance of a smart building infrastructure with multiple processing support.

Keywords: IoT, queue model, smart building
