Internet of Things: Visions, Technologies, and Areas of Application

Abstract

Abstract:The internet of things (IoT), also called internet of all, is a new paradigm that combines several technologies such as computers, the internet, sensors network, radio frequency identification (RFID), communication technology and embedded systems to form a system that links the real worlds with digital worlds. IoT is recognized as one of the most important areas of the technology of the future and wins attention from a wide range of industries. Currently, a large number of smart objects and different types of devices are interconnected and communicate using the internet protocol. With an increase in the deployment of smart objects, the internet of things should have a significant impact on human life in the near future. To understand the development of the IoT, this paper reviews the current research of the IoT, key technologies, the main applications of the IoT in various field, and identifies research challenges. In this article, we present the main visions and the scope of the internet of things and the futuristic research and its fields of application. the main contribution of this review article is that it summarizes the current state of the IoT technology in several areas, and also the applications of IoT that cause side effects on our environment for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of human activity on the environment around us, and also provided an overview of some of the main challenges of IoT, and also shows that application of the IoT. This article presents not only the problems and challenges of IoT, but also solutions that help overcome some of the problems and challenges.

An Overview of IoT Solutions in Climate Smart Agriculture for Food Security in Sub Saharan Africa: Challenges and Prospects

“…The abstraction includes storage, and processing of data since IoT devices are usually characterized by limited storage and low processing power (47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52). A typical middleware is a global sensor network (GSN) which is an open-source middleware sensor platform that enables the deployment of sensor devices with minimal programming effort (35). Fig.…”

Internet of Things (IOT) : Architectures, Protocols and Frameworks, Applications and Challenges in Healthcare

“…During this studies we get to work on different work of different researchers, some talked and discussed visions, technologies , and Areas of application like [2] and [3] which discuss the future vision, architectures , challenges and Services, and this survey explain the difference between Things oriented vision , internet oriented vision and semantic oriented vision, give an overview in challenges and present the different application of the internet o things.…”

Understanding Current Trends on Internet of Things - An Overview

“…Zhou et al (2018) explained the security and privacy-related issues of any smart device and highlighted various threats issues, challenges being faced by society and also provided a solution to some threats. The author has neglected following issues while implementing security factors:  Maintenance-related problems as such, if the device is not properly maintained, can also lead to security and privacy-related issues  No appropriate solution is being provided for handling different types of attacks  Limited effectiveness and performance of smart devices  No representation of IoT as an emerging technology in spite of mentioning in the literature Rghioui et al, (2017) In addition to the report, experts proposed the architecture of urban IoT that divides the architecture into Data Layer, Transport Layer and Network Layer for various constrained and unconstrained factors. Hopali et al, (2018) proposed security architecture for IoT enabled devices using in banks, companies and government and provide architecture Louis Columbus, (2018) for medical health care services and technologies which are being used-RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Medical sensors, Cloud Computing, Big Data and Augmented Reality (AR) system, etc.…”
