Title
The Emulation and Simulation of Internet of Things Devices for Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Abstract
The most significant recent development in the AEC industry has been the adoption of Building Information Modelling ( BIM), but its full potential is far from being fully exploited. The Internet of Things ( IoT) provides a rich source of new data for BIM. BIM can provide a framework for the organization and analysis of IoT data. Each IoT solution can require thousands of sensors creating a continuous stream of varied data. A connection between BIM and the IoT throughout the lifecycle would result in many new possibilities. This paper examines emulating or simulating large numbers of IoT devices to explore the potential of effectively linking BIM with the IoT. With emulation, the complete outwardly observable behavior of real historical IoT devices is mimicked and matched. The alternative to emulation is simulation where an abstract model of the IoT network is created programmatically using rules. Emulating and simulating devices reduces the barriers to carrying out the development required to enable BIM to utilize the full potential of the IoT.
