The paper, available as a preprint, deals with measuring the performance of various Internet of Things (IoT) systems using age of information — a metric that describes the “freshness” of information that an IoT system has about a process observed remotely. Essentially it is the time elapsed since last successfully delivered update on the state of a system that is monitored with IoT sensors.

Frolov and Munari focused on the design of IoT systems informed by the need to optimize for age of information. The researchers think their results will be useful in environmental monitoring, vehicle tracking and generally in all IoT applications that require close tracking of a process.
