Abstract
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, approaches and models in order to discover what challenges need to be met to make more sense of data. The main goal of this paper is to review the surveys related to IoT in order to provide well integrated and context aware intelligent services for IoT. Moreover, we present a state-of-the-art of IoT from the context aware perspective that allows the integration of IoT and social networks in the emerging Social Internet of Things (SIoT) term.
Highlights
There are no doubts about how rapidly technology has grown in the last decade
Context-aware techniques are widely used for searching in Internet of Things (IoT), such as information retrieval, information extraction and natural language processing techniques
There are a considerable number of reviews about IoT and so far most of them have been conducted focusing on high level general issues
Summary
There are no doubts about how rapidly technology has grown in the last decade. Nowadays, a wide variety of devices, including sensor-enabled smart devices, and all types of wearables, connect to the Internet and power newly connected applications and solutions. In order to achieve this aim, we have grouped the IoT work in the following categories: general purpose IoT surveys, data oriented surveys, IoT vs cloud challenges that have not yet been addressed. In order to achieve this aim, we have grouped the IoT work in the following categories: general purpose IoT surveys, data oriented surveys, IoT vs cloud computing surveys and IoT vs data mining surveys. These categories are developed in the following subsections, which are concluded by a subsection that details potential IoT applications, and a final subsection that summarizes the open research issues for IoT. Atzori et al [6] provided the readers with a description of the different visions of the IoT paradigm coming from different scientific communities and reviews the enabling technologies and illustrates which are the major benefits of spread of this paradigm in everyday-life
