A dimensional framework to evaluate coverage of IoT services in city platform as a service

Internet of Things, IoT, connects physical objects and the cyberspace, which provides potentials to leverage city-scale merits of IT services. It covers complicated integration of hardware, software, deployment and operation in both of time and spatial dimensions. It presents a broad challenge in design and operation processes. An IoT-empowered city platform is required to accommodate a wide spectrum of consumer, government, and business applications to stand as a core platform. The challenges for a city platform include a methodology to capture the supportability of a wide range of applications on the platform. The author presents dimensions to provide positioning of an IoT service in a comparative framework. Then, the author presents an exploratory analysis to select multiple dimensions. The selected dimensions serve as the metrics to capture the supportability of a city platform.
