The Android-based IoT platform just like the existing Android provides an environment that makes it easy to utilize Google's infrastructure services including development tools and APIs through which it helps to control the sensors of IoT devices. Applications running on the Android-based IoT platform are often UI free and are used without the user’s consent to registered permissions. It is dif...

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has quickly moved from hype to reality. Like other disruptive technologies, such as smartphones and cloud computing, IoT has the potential for a societal scale impact by transforming our daily lives. Major companies have already started to pioneer this transformation by introducing a range of products in the areas of smart homes, smart cities, and health care. While...

W e’re venturing into the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). As computing devices become smaller, smarter, and ubiquitous, computing has begun to embed into our environments by attaching to physical objects or things. IoT is bringing computing both onto our bodies and into our daily surroundings. Examples of onbody computing devices include human activity trackers, smart watches, and semi-per...

The Internet of Things (IOT) describes a worldwide network of intercommunicating devices. IoT is considered as part of Internet and the future will comprise billions of intelligent and communicating ‘things’. The future of the Internet will consist of heterogeneously connected devices that will further extend the borders of the world with physical entities and virtual components. Internet of Th...

The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and play. Projections for the impact of IoT on ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown in recent years to a huge branch of research: RFID, sensors and actuators as typical IoT devices are increasingly used as resources integrated into new value added applications of the Future Internet and are intelligently combined using standardised software services. While most of the current work on IoT integration focuses on areas of the actual technica...

Currently, physical objects are integrated and connected in the networks to provide services for people performing the well-known Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. IoT environments are characterized by a high degree of devices heterogeneity and network protocols, where each object may have different processing capabilities or different communication patterns, making a lack of standardization i...

Driven by user demand for new smart systems in the framework of the Internet of Things (IoT) and fueled by technological advances in Radiofrequency Identification (RFID), an increasing number of new IoT-oriented RFID-based devices has appeared in recent years in scientific literature. Some of them conjugate canonical RFID identification with extra functionalities such as sensing, reasoning, mem...

Modern households are deploying Internet of Things (IoT) devices at a fast pace. The heterogeneity of these devices, which range from low-end sensors to smart TVs, make securing home IoT particularly challenging. To make matters worse, many consumerIoT devices are hard or impossible to secure because device manufacturers fail to adopt security best practices (e.g., regular software patches). Vu...

The crucial importance of software platforms was highlighted by recent events both at the political level (e.g. renewed calls for digital data and operating system " sovereignty " , following E. Snowden's revelations) and at the business level (e.g. Android generated a new industry worth tens of billions of euros yearly). In the IoT, which is expected to generate business at very large scale, w...
