Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to create seamless connections between people and diverse objects, driving the transformation of our society toward becoming efficient, smart, and convenient, with potentially significant economic and environmental benefits. Over the past decade, IoT technology has advanced rapidly in various application domains, spanning from smart healthcare to smart energy, smart manufacturing to smart agriculture, smart environmental monitoring to smart supply chains, and so on. Due to the critical nature of IoT applications, reliability is a vital requirement for deploying and operating robust IoT systems. Based on a layered IoT architecture, this talk will explore key reliability challenges in IoT systems, focusing on reliability modeling, analysis, and design issues, as well as solution methods for IoT perception technologies, data communications, support technologies, and applications. Several open research problems in IoT reliability will also be presented.
