(IoT). The acronym IoT was coined in 1999 by Ashton [1], referring to the “networked interconnection of everyday objects, which are often equipped with ubiquitous intelligence” [2]. Currently, the number of devices connected to each other exceeds the entire population of the world, and such change has converted the concept of the internet from an “internet between people” to an “internet betwee...

Why this paper might be of interest to Alliance Partners: The term Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that encompasses a variety of technologies and research areas that aim to extend the existing internet to real world objects . Some of the potential benefits from the IoT realisation are enormous, both for individuals and businesses. Some of the most promising applications include: improved ...

As technology and communication advances, more devices (and things) are able to connect to the Internet and talk to each other to achieve a common goal which results in the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) era. It is believed that IoT will bring up a limitless number of applications and business opportunities that will affect almost every aspect of our life. Research has already been c...

“Designing quality in” is a cornerstone of modern quality management philosophies. Design for X (DfX) techniques provide guidelines, heuristics, and metrics to ensure that a particular quality attribute exists in a design. Although hundreds of papers have been published on DfX approaches, few researchers have explored systematically applying multiple DfX in a particular problem context. As the ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new set of concepts or technologies that allows devices or machines (such as lights, signs, parking gates, motors or even pacemakers) to transform from simple objects to "smart" through the use of sensors, actuators and data communication technologies. IoT enables the smart devices to be "virtually" tracked, monitored and controlled across a...

The internet of things (IOT) is the new revolution of internet after PCS and ServersClients communication now sensors, smart object, wearable devices, and smart phones are able to communicate. Everything surrounding us can talk to each other. life will be easier and smarter with smart environment, smart homes,smart cities and intelligent transport and healthcare.Billions of devices will be comm...

In the Internet of Things era, an increasing number of household devices and everyday objects are able to send to and retrieve information from the Internet, offering innovative services to the user. However, most of these devices provide only smartphone or web interfaces to control the IoT object properties and functions. As a result, generally, the interaction is disconnected from the physica...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm focusing on the connection of devices, objects, or "things" to each other, to the Internet, and to users. IoT technology is anticipated to become an essential requirement in the development of smart homes, as it offers convenience and efficiency to home residents so that they can achieve better quality of life. Application of the IoT model to...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of authentication protocols for Internet of Things (IoT). Specifically, we select and in-detail examine more than forty authentication protocols developed for or applied in the context of the IoT under four environments, including: (1) Machine to machine communications (M2M), (2) Internet of Vehicles (IoV), (3) Internet of Energy (IoE), and (4) I...

Programmable management framework have paved the way for managing devices in the network. Lately, emerging paradigm of Software Defined Networking (SDN) have revolutionized programmable networks. Designers of networking applications i.e. Internet of things (IoT) have started investigating potentials of SDN paradigm in improving network management. IoT envision interconnecting various embedded d...
