<p>The use of sensors in our daily lives is a growing demand with the large number of electronic devices around us. These sensors will be included in our daily life requirements soon and they will affect our lives in both positive and negative ways. In this paper, we discuss the manner, applications and design issues for a cloud of virtual sensors, and we introduce a distributed system design to deal with physical sensors that reside in diverse locations and operate in different environments. This design operates in a cloud computing vision and can make virtual sensors in upper of physical one available from anywhere using ICT structure. Then, we negotiated the future of this technology, i.e., the Internet of Things (IoT). Additionally, we go over the strengths and weaknesses of using this technology. Our test lab shows high performance and good total cost of ownership and effective response time.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
