The wide gamut of IP-aware and -addressable technology known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is embedded deeply into our professional and personal lives. “The Internet of Things installed base will grow to 26 billion units by 2020,” says Gartner. “IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion, mostly in services, in 2020. It will result in $1.9 trill...

Recent advances in information and communication technologies and embedded systems have given rise to a new disruptive technology: the Internet of Things (IoT). This major development will lead to major changes in usage and to a transformation of the technological ecosystem in all its complexity. IoT will allow people and objects in the physical world as well as data and virtual environments to...

Internet of Things (IoT) is the next big evolutionary step in the world of internet. The main intention behind the IoT is to enable safer living and risk mitigation on different levels of life. With the advent of IoT botnets, the view towards IoT devices has changed from enabler of enhanced living into Internet of vulnerabilities for cyber criminals. IoT botnets has exposed two different glarin...

Internet of Things (IoT) will comprise billions of devices that can sense, communicate, compute and potentially actuate. Data streams coming from these devices will challenge the traditional approaches to data management and contribute to the emerging paradigm of big data. This paper discusses emerging Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, large scale sensor network applications, federating se...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing and more and more devices, so-called “things”, are being connected every day. IoT platforms provide access to those “things” and make them available for services and applications. Today, a broad range of such IoT platforms exist with differing functional foci, target domains, and interfaces. However, to fully exploit the economic impact of the IoT, it is ...

In this article we introduce „fingies“ a rapid prototyping framework for „Internet of Things“ (IoT) applications based on the Arduino Yún connected to hybrid sensors and actors. The hybrid sensors and actors are composed of silk-screen printed electronic circuits combined with conventional electronic parts, Surface Mounted Device (SMD) sensors and actors. We discuss design paradigms and their r...

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Web are closely related to each other. On the one hand, the Semantic Web has been including vocabularies and semantic models for the Internet of Things. On the other hand, the so-called Web of Things (WoT) advocates architectures relying on established Web technologies and RESTful interfaces for the IoT. In this paper, we present a vocabulary for WoT that ai...

The Internet of things is used as a parasol catch word for combining and covering the major aspects related to the extension of the Internet and Web into the phenomenon, by means of vast positioning of spatially distributed devices that contains embedded identification, sensing and/or actuation capabilities. Internet of Things (IoT) consists of a large number of connected objects that are commu...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible for devices around the world to acquire information and store it, in order to be able to use it at a later stage. However, this potential opportunity is often not exploited because of the excessively big interval between the data collection and the capability to process and analyse it. In this paper, we review the current IoT technologies, appro...
