Design of a mass-customization-based cost-effective Internet of Things sensor system in smart building spaces

In the coming Internet of Things era, billions of users and devices will be connected to the Internet; this will lead beyond the era of super-connection to the era of super-fusion. In this era, it is more important than ever to design a highly scalable Internet of Things infrastructure by mass customization for cost-effective production of exponentially increasing numbers of Internet of Things systems to provide more intelligent service in smart spaces. The purpose of this article is the design of mass-customization-based Internet of Things system through three-level analysis of the building; it proposes a new concept of a systematic design for providing economical Internet of Things systems for intelligent service in smart building spaces through three-level analysis comprising environmental-, service-, and functional-level analyses.
