The increasing popularity of specialized Internet-connected devices and appliances, dubbed the Internet-of-Things (IoT), promises both new conveniences and new privacy concerns. Unlike traditional web browsers, many IoT devices have al­ ways-on sensors that constantly monitor fine-grained details of users’ physical environments and influence the devices’ network communications. Passive network ...

Internet of things (IoT) has emerged as a new paradigm for the future Internet. In IoT, enormous devices are connected to the Internet and thereby being a huge data source for numerous applications. In this article, we focus on addressing data management in IoT through using a smart data pricing (SDP) approach. With SDP, data can be managed flexibly and efficiently through intelligent and adapt...

Microservice architectures (MA) are composed of loosely coupled, course-grained services that emphasise resilience and autonomy, enabling more scalable applications to be developed. Such architectures are more tolerant of changing demands from users and enterprises, in response to emerging technologies and their associated influences upon human interaction and behaviour. This article looks at m...

An ever growing interest and wide adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and Web technologies are unleashing a true potential of designing a broad range of high-quality consumer applications. Smart cities, smart buildings, and e-health are among various application domains which are currently benefiting and will continue to benefit from IoT and Web technologies in a foreseeable future. Similarly,...

The Internet of Things pertains to connecting currently unconnected things and people. It is the new era in transforming the existed systems to amend the cost effective quality of services for the society. To support Smart city vision, Urban IoT design plans exploit added value services for citizens as well as administration of the city with the most advanced communication technologies. To make...

Motivated by the increasing variance of suggested Internet of Things (IoT) applications and the lack of suitability of current wireless technologies in scalable, long range deployments, a number of diverging Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies have been developed. These technologies promise to enable a scalable high range network on cheap low power devices, facilitating the development of a...

This paper elaborates the challenges in searching imposed by the burgeoning field of Internet of Things (IoT). Firstly it overviews the evolution of the new field to its predecessors: searching in the mobile computing, ubiquitous computing and information retrieve. Then, it identifies five research thrusts: architecture design, search locality, real-time, scalability and divulging information. ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by a wide penetration in the regular user’s life through an increasing number of Things embedding sensing, actuating, processing, and communication capacities. A considerable portion of those Things will be mobile Things, which come with several advantages yet lead to unprecedented challenges. The most critical challenges, that are directly inherite...

With Internet of Things (IOT) theory, the essence of innovation theory and grounded theory, we collect and analyze the implementation information and data from 3 related IOT company. Then we identify 40 key success factors and establish key success factors model for innovation application of IOT in the view of technology, market and implementation. The purpose is to improve the success rate of ...

The traditional view of Internet of Things (IoT) attempts to connect all the physical objects to build a global, infrastructure-based IoT. In this paper, however, we will present opportunistic IoT, which is formed based on the ad hoc, opportunistic networking of devices (e.g., mobile phones, smart vehicles) using short-range radio techniques (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi). The opportunistic IoT demon...
