A theoretical model for the human-IoT systems interaction

Thanks to the IoT, our life will strongly improve in the next future. However, it is not given that the users will be able to afford all the automation it will offer or that it will be compatible with the users' cognitive attitudes and its actual and real goals. In this paper, we face the question of the IoT from the user point of view. We start analyzing which reasons undermine the acceptance of IoT systems and then we propose a possible solution. The first contribution of this work is the level characterization of the autonomy a user can grant to an IoT device. The second contribution is a theoretical model to deal with users and to stimulate users' acceptance. By the means of simulation, we show how the model works and we prove that it leads the system to an optimal solution.
