The document outlines a 10-step IoT design methodology that includes requirements specification, process specification, domain modeling, information modeling, service specifications, level specification, functional and operational views, device integration, and application development. It then applies this methodology to design a smart home automation system case study that controls lights remotely. Key steps include defining the system purpose and requirements, modeling concepts and entities, specifying services, developing a native controller service, and building a web application to control lights.
