摘要
There are a variety of Internet of Things(IoT)applications that cover different aspects of daily life.Each of these applications has different criteria and sub-criteria,making it difficult for the user to choose.This requires an automated approach to select IoT applications by considering criteria.This paper presents a novel recommendation system for presenting applications on the IoT.First,using the analytic hierarchy process(AHP),a multi-layer architecture of the criteria and sub-criteria in IoT applications is presented.This architecture is used to evaluate and rank IoT applications.As a result,finding the weight of the criteria and subcriteria requires a metaheuristic approach.In this paper,a sequential quadratic programming algorithm is used to find the optimal weight of the criteria and sub-criteria automatically.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first study to use an analysis of metaheuristic criteria and sub-criteria to design an IoT application recommendation system.The evaluations and comparisons in the experimental results section show that the proposed method is a comprehensive and reliable model for the construction of an IoT applications recommendation system.
