A systematic literature review in fault analysis for IoT
Guru Prasad Bhandari, Ratneshwer Gupta · International Journal of Web Science · 2019
Internet of things (IoT) is a system where devices, sensors, and equipment are connected to a network and can communicate data for tracking, analysis, and action processes. Even though IoT has drawn increasing attention, and become a promising technology in many areas within half a decade, it has some serious challenges to handle fault in IoT system too. The main objective of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to summarise the current state of the art of fault analysis in the IoT. After applying inclusion and exclusion selection criteria, this systematic literature review includes 68 papers published between January 2012 and April 2017, 15 papers addressed different aspects of IoT fault, 37 addressed recovery methods for IoT-fault, and 28 research papers including three review-based papers addressed IoT-issues and challenges in fault handling. The findings of this SLR further provide empirical evidence for establishing future IoT-related faults' research agendas.
