SL: A Reference Smartness Level Scale for Smart Artifacts

During the last two decades, many products, research projects and prototypes were announced with different characteristics capabilities, all adopting “smart” qualifier word. If a smartness property could not be defined simply as true or false, defining suitable range was an easy task. This issue led to proposal of some classification models, frameworks taxonomies for project classifications, but none them provide clear pragmatic scale able classify smart artifacts serve reference. paper aims propose help non-research communities better quantify easily understand features autonomy artifacts. The proposed considers main function physical-device components in systems. provided is based on uni-dimensional typology that defines 12 levels, created our definition “smart artifact” by following evolutionary set capabilities ranging from traceable-only sensing-capable autonomous, adaptable self-driven In order show feasibility scale, analytic model applied several research- market-based tagged extract their levels.
