Abstract

With the Internet of Things (IoT) gradually evolving as the subsequent phase of the evolution of the Internet, it becomes crucial to recognize the various potential domains for application of IoT, and the research challenges that are associated with these applications. Ranging from smart cities, to health care, smart agriculture, logistics and retail, to even smart living and smart environments IoT is expected to infiltrate into virtually all aspects of daily life. Even though the current IoT enabling technologies have greatly improved in the recent years, there are still numerous problems that require attention. Since the IoT concept ensues from heterogeneous technologies, many research challenges are bound to arise. The fact that IoT is so expansive and affects practically all areas of our lives, makes it a significant research topic for studies in various related fields such as information technology and computer science. Thus, IoT is paving the way for new dimensions of research to be carried out. This paper presents the recent development of IoT technologies and discusses future applications and research challenges.

Highlights

  • The Internet can be described as the communication network that connects individuals to information while The Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnected system of distinctively address able physical items with various degrees of processing, sensing, and actuation capabilities that share the capability to interoperate and communicate through the Internet as their joint platform [1]

  • The understudy addresses the various potential areas for application of IoT domains and the research challenges that are associated with these applications

  • POTENTIAL APPLICATION DOMAINS OF IOT Potential applications of the internet of Things are numerous and quite diverse as they permeate into virtually all aspects of daily life of individuals, institutions, and society

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Devices like smartphones, vehicles, industrial systems, cameras, toys, buildings, home appliances, industrial systems and countless others can all share information over the Internet Regardless of their sizes and functions, these devices can accomplish smart reorganizations, tracing, positioning, control, real-time monitoring and process control. Even though its most significant commercial effect has been observed in the consumer electronics field; i.e. the revolution of smartphones and the interest in wearable devices (watches, headsets, etc.), connecting people has become merely a fragment of a bigger movement towards the association of the digital and physical worlds With all this in mind, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to continue expanding its reach as pertains the number of devices and functions, which it can run. The understudy addresses the various potential areas for application of IoT domains and the research challenges that are associated with these applications
