Fuzzy Logic Framework for Internet of Things Systems Implementation

Abstract

This paper presents a framework to implement an Internet of Things (IoT) system using fuzzy logic. This framework provides general fuzzy membership functions that can be particularized for various applications implementing specific fuzzy rules to determine the system output. The motivation of this work is to create and test a flexible framework for the rapid implementation of IoT applications. Generic functions are implemented that are integrated into a commercial hardware platform. The framework is evaluated in terms of computation time and power consumption using a wireless sensor network (WSN) evaluation kit from Analog Devices. Also, a system for determining a person’s health condition is illustrated as an application implementation example using the proposed fuzzy IoT framework.
