Popis: IoT devices are decentralized and deployed in un-stable environments, which causes them to be prone to various kinds of faults, such as device failure and network disruption. Yet, current IoT platforms require programmers to handle faults manually, a complex and error-prone task. In this paper, we present IoTRepair, a fault-handling system for IoT that (1)integrates a fault identification module to track faulty devices,(2) provides a library of fault-handling functions for effectively handling different fault types, (3) provides a fault handler on top of the library for autonomous IoT fault handling, with user and developer configuration as input. Through an evaluation in a simulated lab environment and with various fault injectio nmethods,IoTRepair is compared with current fault-handling solutions. The fault handler reduces the incorrect states on average 50.01%, which corresponds to less unsafe and insecure device states. Overall, through a systematic design of an IoT fault handler, we provide users flexibility and convenience in handling complex IoT fault handling, allowing safer IoT environments.
