Internet of things (IoT) is a network of items embedded with sensors which are connected through the internet [1]. One IoT system consists of computing devices, physical plants and networks defined as a system-of-systems (SoS) [2]. During developing IoT systems, architectural dependencies across the entire SoS are challenged because of the massive compositions among them.
