title = "Platform configurations within information systems research: A literature review on the example of IoT platforms",
abstract = "This contribution aims to shed light on the usage and application of different platform constructs within the context of IoT platforms. The motivation is that Information Systems (IS) scholars and practitioners use the term platform frequently as an unspecific or vague construct. Different research streams shape and influence the understanding of a platform. They range from economic practices like the Two-Sided Market (TSM), Multi-Sided Platform (MSP) or platform business models, to technical platform aspects including standardization and modularization, to the platform ecosystem and the construct of an IS platform fostering value co-creation. Within those constructs, the upcoming phenomenon of IoT platforms represents a specific case to analyze what constructs are used to which extent. Thus, the study helps future IS scholars to use the term platform more precisely and reveals the interrelatedness of the identified constructs. However, the literature review is only a first step towards demystifying the phenomenon of a platform, due to the limited context of IoT platforms.",
