KnowThings is developing an IoT device simulation product to help accelerate IoT application development. It uses service virtualization techniques, machine learning algorithms, and an understanding of the IoT landscape to enable automated testing at scale without requiring physical devices. This approach helps fast-track development and testing work by providing continuous integration and continuous delivery capabilities. KnowThings' solution is different from other existing ones because its machine learning allows it to quickly learn new protocols and enable testing at scale through service virtualization.

Abstract
Developing and testing IoT solutions is challenging today due to many factors:
complexity around available platforms, heterogeneous environments, voluminous device
requirements, multiple protocols, and communication synchronization.
KnowThings strives to help, using our patented service virtualization techniques,
machine learning algorithms, and research and understanding of the current IoT
landscape. We are building a self-learning IoT device simulation product to help
accelerate IoT application development by enabling automated testing at scale, without
requiring continuous connection to physical devices. Our approach helps fast-track
development and testing work by providing continuous integration and continuous
delivery (CI/CD) possibility at every level of the IoT development stack.
In this session, we will discuss the challenges facing IoT developers, extending
virtualized services to IoT scenarios, IoT simulation considerations, and possible
solutions.
