The “Internet of Things”, considering its characteristics, calls for developing third-generation data protection with a new field of application and greater use of the technology itself for resolving the problems it poses.

There are two problem areas of the current Internet to be solved in Future Internet scenarios – security and putting the user back in control despite the move to the Internet of things. With this in mind, we address problems associated with the diversifying of the Internet towards an Internet of Things, and with increased ways to be reachable, whether the user wants it or not, in the digital wo...

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...

Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) are expected to have 1 a key role in the realization of the future Internet of Things that will connect to the 2 Internet any kind of devices, living beings, and things. A number of standards have 3 been released over the last years to support their development and encourage inter4 operability. In addition IETF has defined a set of protocols to allo...

Internet of things is a promising research due to its importance in many commerce, industry, and education applications. Recently, new applications and research challenges in numerous areas of Internet of things are fired. In this paper, we discuss the history of Internet of things, different proposed architectures of Internet of things, research challenges and open problems related to the Inte...

The Internet of things can be defined as to make the “things” belong to the Internet. However, many wonder if the current Internet can support such a challenge. For this and other reasons, hundreds of worldwide initiatives to redesign the Internet are underway. This article discusses the perspectives, challenges and opportunities behind a future Internet that fully supports the “things”, as wel...

The envisioned Internet of Things (IoT) foresees a future Internet incorporating smart physical objects that offer hosted functionality as IoT services. This service-based integration of IoT will be smarter, easier to communicate with and more valuable for enriching our environment. However, the interfaces and services can be modified due to updates and amendments. Such modifications require ad...
