Study of Internet of Things (IoT): A Vision, Architectural Elements, and Future Directions
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ubiquitous sensing enabled by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies cuts across many areas of modern day living. This
offers the ability to measure, infer and understand environmental indicators, from delicate ecologies and natural resources to urban
environments. The proliferation of these devices in a communicating-actuating network creates the Internet of Things (IoT), wherein, sensors
and actuators blend seamlessly with the environment around us, and the information is shared across platforms in order to develop a common
operating picture (COP). Fuelled by the recent adaptation of a variety of enabling wireless technologies such as RFID tags and embedded
sensor and actuator nodes, the IoT has stepped out of its infancy and is the the next revolutionary technology in transforming the Internet into
a fully integrated Future Internet. As we move from www (static pages web) to web2 (social networking web) to web3 (ubiquitous
computing web), the need for data-on-demand using sophisticated intuitive queries increases significantly. This paper presents a Cloud
centric vision for worldwide implementation of Internet of Things. The key enabling technologies and application domains that are likely to
drive IoT research in the near future are discussed. A Cloud implementation using Aneka, which is based on interaction of private and public
Clouds is presented. We conclude our IoT vision by expanding on the need for convergence of WSN, the Internet and distributed computing
directed at technological research community.
