Considerations regarding the dependability of Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm describes a vision where different heterogeneous physical objects like cell phones, computers, sensors, cars, refrigerators, kitchen appliances, TVs, smart homes are connected over the Internet in a global network. Such an immense network of interconnected objects will raise some new dependability and security challenges. In this paper, we propose a way to address the problem of solving the assessment of some IoT dependability indicators with example of a concrete system for home automation.
