During the past decades, in the era of wireless communications and embedded system, the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was first presented by Kevin Ashton in the year 1999 [1]. Along with the tremendous growth in the number of sensing devices connected to the Internet, we were a witness of emerging IoT into healthcare, transportation system, smart cities, agriculture, and other enterprises. The IoT benefits cooperation of diverse computing systems such as sensors and smart devices to cloud computers. On the other side, the internet and mobile communication facilitate the spatiotemporal connection between distant people with common experience and values. More recently, technological evolution is introduced by intelligent sensor devices installed in the physical and virtual realm of IoT to act as or on behalf of human beings: the virtual robots [2]. This creates the possibility for physical objects present in a self-organized manner without a central administration and leads to meaningful human-machine interaction in IoT scenario [3].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
