The technological revolution and the evolution of technology have significantly facilitated the applicability of the IoT in various domains, such as healthcare, transportation, agriculture, retail, education, and, especially, higher education, which encompasses countless areas. Petri nets can be a useful tool to model the behavior of an IoT system. The main objective of this paper was to propose, model, and analyze a complex IoT system for higher education. The system involves the integration of IoT devices for monitoring data. An educational cloud was used as a support tool through which tracking, and control actions were implemented both internally, between the cloud and entities, and externally, between the cloud and the IoT. The system was modeled using Petri nets, which are systems with discrete events, and for simulation, we used the Visual Object Net++ package. Using this application, information was obtained in real time, and it was possible to intervene with changes even in the design phase. The diagrams were easy to read and interpret, which is an advantage for the decision-making system. The general structure of the application was based on n entities, where each entity represented a higher education field. In this paper, we discuss at least three fields: economics, computational linguistics, and engineering. |
