In this paper we attempt to categorize the services provided by the Internet of Things (IoT) in order to help application developers build upon a base service. First we introduce the four main categories of services, and then follow by providing a number of examples of each of the service categories so as to provide an example of how each type of service might be implemented, and how it can be ...

This paper examines the relationship between so-called ‘Big Data’, the ‘Internet of Things’ (the ‘Internet of People and Things,’ and the ‘Internet of Everything’), and the ‘Internet of Signs.’ In particular, we investigate how the ‘things’ in the ‘Internet of Things’ generate ‘Big Data’, and how both are used to generate semiotic ‘signs’. In addition, we analyse the importance of context in an...

This paper explains the technical perspective of Internet Things (IoTs) with definitions and evolution IoT. The characteristics like interconnectivity, heterogeneity, dynamic change, safety connectivity are emphasized IoT architecture. Different layers perception layer, network middleware application layer business explained. Application in different disciplines healthcare, agriculture, transpo...

This article proposes a theoretical and practical extension of the IoT, taking in all "things" that can be sensed by sensors, without requiring them to be fitted with a tag or a digital network interface. These physical entities, whatever they may be (legacy appliances, passive items, subsets of physical space), become nodes of a broader network, extending the internet of sensor/actuator device...

As technology proceeds and the number of smart devices continues to grow substantially, need for ubiquitous context-aware platforms that support interconnected, heterogeneous, and distributed network of devices has given rise to what is referred today as Internet-ofThings. However, paving the path for achieving aforementioned objectives and making the IoT paradigm more tangible requires integra...

to multimedia content (images, video, and audio) on a variety of platforms (enterprise, social media, and sensors). One of the fastestgrowing types of data relates to physical observations, measurements, and occurrences in the real world. The growth of physical world data collection and communication is supported by low-cost sensor devices, such as wireless sensor nodes that can be deployed in ...

The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes over the past few years, as more and more everyday and real-world objects can now easily connect to the Internet. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges. The Internet of Things community has ma...

Internet of Things (IoT) are in full expansion. Applications range from factory floors to smart city environments. IoT applications consist of battery powered small computing devices (motes) that communicate wirelessly and interact with the environment through sensors and actuators. A key challenge that IoT engineers face is how to manage such systems that are subject to inherent uncertainties ...

h THE INTERNET OF THINGS is the technical evolution of the proliferation of embedded processing and the ubiquitous connectivity of networking infrastructure. It wasn’t the result of a big grand strategy. It’s just begun to happen, and it is gaining momentum at a rapid pace. In fact in 2010, the number of devices connected to the Internet already exceeded the number of humans, and it is predicte...
