Model-based Systems Design for Green IoT Systems

The energy consumption of the Internet of Things is predicted to be about a quarter of the total world-wide energy consumption by 2030. There are already numerous approaches and operating strategies to reduce the energy consumption of wireless sensors. Nevertheless, it is essential to implement a formalized model-based development process that enables the designer of IoT nodes, platforms and systems to balance between the function and non-functional requirements with respect to energy consumption. Therefore we promote a model-based systems design methodology that employs multi-physical co-simulation in a virtual simulation environment in order to optimize the overall energy consumption.
