Recently, there have been a large number of proposals for IoT middleware solutions. In addition, a few recent studies have surveyed and qualitatively evaluated these IoT middleware proposals against functional and non-functional features. A quantitative evaluation is also needed to complement these existing qualitative studies and provide a more in-depth perspective of the state of the art. This paper presents a quantitative evaluation of 4 representative proposals: OpenIoT, CHOReOS, LinkSmart and UBIWARE. The evaluation results, based on a small real-life scenario, show that research is needed in the area of autonomous and scalable service registration, discovery and composition, heterogeneity, and interoperability of IoT middlewares.
