The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming important in many areas that include health, entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, home and building automation, industrial, etc. Will it be important for education and more specifically for teaching and learning? If so, what engineering subjects would benefit the most and how effective could the IoT be for teaching and learning? Can IoT technologies and...
Most of IoT applications include large number of distributed sensors which are interesting in specific geographical area. A large number of IoT entities have multiple relations and dynamic connections with each other. And there are many group communication requirements. Flexible multicast mechanism will be essential in such environments but it is difficult to satisfy verious requirements by means...
Internet of Things is a growing market. Given the keen interest wide public is showing, manufacturers keep launching new models and types each day, trying to connect the real world to Internet. However, while trying to connect everything in our life, manufacturers are facing new challenges that may impact this market growth. In this work, we tackle these challenges and how we can face them by proposing...
During the development and expansion of Internet of Things (IoT), main challenges needing to be addressed are the heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, flexibility and security of IoT applications. In this paper, we view IoT as a large-scale distributed cyber-physical-social complex network. From that perspective, the above challenges are analyzed. Then, we propose a distributed multi-agent...
With the onset of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the number of IoT devices and sensors is increasing tremendously. This paper is concerned with a health IoT system consisting of various IoT devices carried by members of an environmental health community. We propose a novel trust-based decision making protocol that uses trust-based information sharing among the health IoT devices, so that a collective...
Energy fuels the growth and development of any country, and as such effective monitoring, measurement, billing and access control is imperative. This paper presents a device that uses the evolving Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the design and implementation of an Internet based prepaid energy meter often referred to as smart meters. The energy measurement and billing system is automated. The...
In the next future, IoT systems will be “ubiquitous” and “pervasive”, bringing several benefits to mankind and also many issues about interoperability, security and privacy. The intrinsic vulnerabilities of IoT devices, with limited resources and heterogeneous technologies, together with the lack of specifically designed IoT standards, represent a fertile ground for the expansion of specific cyber...
The Internet of things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technology capable of transforming numerous areas of our lives. Smart Grid (SG) is one of such areas, which has an immense potential of development, following the advances in IoT technology. The goal of the current survey is to summarize the infrastructure and applications of IoT in SGs. The infrastructure aspect is described from the viewpoints of...
Internet of Things (IoT) can be perceived as enabling user-specific interoperable communication services by integration of sensing and actuation technologies with other leading technologies, such as telecommunication, networking, security and cloud computing etc. Application of the ubiquitous IoT technologies to augment healthcare systems inadvertently exposes the latter to unpredictable, disruptive...
The survey of related work in the very specialized field of information security (IS) ensurance for the Internet of Things (IoT) allowed us to work out a taxonomy of typical attacks against the IoT elements (with special attention to the IoT device protection). The key directions of countering these attacks were defined on this basis. According to the modern demand for the IoT big IS-related data...
In this work, telemetry system is proposed by using Internet of objects (IoT) paradigm. IoT has become widespread as a result of the increase in the number of addressable devices, especially with the transition of internet to IPv6. The downsizing of the sensing devices, the ability to operate with low energy on their own, and the ability to communicate can also have a positive impact on the development...
This paper presents the implementation of an SNMP agent on an embedded LINUX operating system in low cost platforms with network interface, used to control devices without the capability to implement TCP/IP protocol. Three communication algorithms were evaluated with the devices in order to find a model in which the communication was efficient and the impact on processing, memory and energy consumption...
Internet of Things is capturing attention of consumer and enterprise electronics market with rapid implementations in home automation, smart cities, etc. Several power efficient, low cost sensors have been made available to developers to build these applications. A common theme here is the mode of communication where the computationally intensive work is being done at server side and the sensor-actuator...
Internet of things (IoT) is technology that connected anything and everything to the Internet. IoT is the newest technology rapidly widen in its usage. This technology brings new products such as disaster monitoring. Flood disaster is the main concern in Malaysia because every year there are flood occurred. We can use this technology to do monitoring activity that people are not able to do it in 24...
Aiming to keep under control a particular system or environment or to ensure that it works as expected there is a need to know what-when-why happens there. Various conditions and environmental factors can lead to errors, unexpected behavior or loss of control. To pursue these factors manually is time consuming, error prone, slow and usually quite expensive. Monitoring is quite complex and challenging...
The internet of things is an evolving trend, connecting "things" to the internet, exchanging and collecting information about the surrounding environment. This is possible, by using different devices such as sensors and actuators feeding information that when connected together, enable to monitor and interact with the surrounding environment. Nowadays, there are many devices with different...
The rapid development of technology nowadays led people to a new and revolutionary concept, named the Internet of Things. This model imposes that all "objects", such as personal objects (smartphones, notebooks, smart watches, tablets etc), electronic equipment embed with sensors and other environmental elements are always connected to a common network. Therefore, one can access any resource...
Industry 4.0 aims to dramatically enhance the productivity of manufacturing technologies through the collection and analysis of real-time data. This combines the ubiquity of the IoT with the processing capabilities of cloud computing to generate insights that help to optimize the decision making process. The increasing demand of data and the explosion in the number of sensing devices, which might...
This paper explores Adaptive Fibonacci-based Tuning Protocol for Service and Resource discovery in the Internet of Things (AFT). Through using constrained application protocol (CoAP), Internet of Things (IoT) can support Machines to Machines (M2M) communications. CoAP has centralized and distributed operation modes to discover resources. In the centralized mode, resource directory (RD) is used to...
Internet of Things (IoT) connect different types of devices to control different things or simply read data from then, such as room temperature, location, pressure and others, in a variety of application domains using the World Wide Web. This is a challenge for technology and Information Security (IS). Therefore, this paper surveys advances in IoT-based with an eye towards security, where discusses...
