Smart space is created by deploying a Semantic Information Broker (SIB) in a given Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The deployed SIB enables information sharing for many digital devices participating in the IoT environment. In this study, we consider CuteSIB - a new SIB implementation for the Smart-M3 platform, where the class of SIB host devices covers various embedded and mobile devices, in addition to such traditional Internet participants as laptop, desktop, and server computers. Our simulation study focuses on performance evaluation of the CuteSIB operation with a multitude of devices that simultaneously produce data, process information, and deliver services. Our experiments apply a scalability model of a Smart-M3 application with the three functional groups of participating devices: sensors, reasoners, and mobile clients. In the experiments, the number of devices is varied in each group as well as the interaction parameters. The evaluation shows the scalability level that CuteSIB can achieve being deployed in an IoT environment of restricted capacity.
