The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm aimed at connecting everyday objects to the internet. IoT applications include smart cities, healthcare, agriculture, as well as the industry and manufacturing. The ability to monitor and control the physical world using information technology creates many opportunities. However, it also comes with some costs. The exponential growth of connected devices, the heterogeneity of IoT use cases, and the diversity of the network technologies yield a concern regarding IoT sustainability. With this work, we aim to contribute to this concern. In doing so, we introduce a novel representation model that is destined for (i) monitoring the IoT environment at runtime, (ii) expressing the overall quality of the system, and (iii) helping to utilize the available resources efficiently. We also define a feature set that describes the best the expectations of decentralized IoT platforms. Furthermore, we describe a quality-enabled decentralized IoT architecture too that incorporates the specified feature set as well as our representation model. Such solutions are necessary to improve and maintain IoT of the future and all its application domains, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). With the presented research, we aim to encourage the efficient utilization of resources and simplify the production of next-generation IoT solutions.

物联网（IoT）是一种旨在将日常对象连接到互联网的范例。物联网应用包括智能城市，医疗保健，农业以及工业和制造业。使用信息技术监视和控制物理世界的能力创造了许多机会。但是，它也需要一些费用。互联设备的指数级增长，物联网用例的异质性以及网络技术的多样性引起了人们对物联网可持续性的担忧。通过这项工作，我们旨在为这一关注做出贡献。为此，我们引入了一种新颖的表示模型，该模型用于（i）在运行时监视IoT环境，（ii）表达系统的整体质量，以及（iii）帮助有效利用可用资源。我们还定义了一个功能集，该功能集描述了分散式物联网平台的最佳期望。此外，我们还描述了一种支持质量的分散式IoT架构，该架构融合了指定的功能集和我们的表示模型。此类解决方案对于改善和维护未来的物联网及其所有应用领域（包括工业物联网（IIoT））是必不可少的。通过提出的研究，我们旨在鼓励有效利用资源并简化下一代物联网解决方案的生产。此类解决方案对于改善和维护未来的物联网及其所有应用领域（包括工业物联网（IIoT））是必不可少的。通过提出的研究，我们旨在鼓励有效利用资源并简化下一代物联网解决方案的生产。此类解决方案对于改善和维护未来的物联网及其所有应用领域（包括工业物联网（IIoT））是必不可少的。通过提出的研究，我们旨在鼓励有效利用资源并简化下一代物联网解决方案的生产。
