Approach to Manage Complexity in Internet of Things

Complexity research is a main concern in disparate science fields such as computing, city planning, Internet, etc. In computing and programming, complexity became early an issue and a target for software engineering, but in fact the pattern concept was born in architecture and city planning environment. The universe is not made of “things,” but of patterns of complex and interactive geometries. In this paper, we generalize such a concept to Internet of Things and Smart Cities domain and consider more complex abstract structures called semi lattices. Furthermore, an approach to model them is proposed.
