Abstract:The "Internet of Things" (IoT) concept is used to define or reference systems that rely on the autonomous communication of a group of physical objects. The applications areas of the IoT are numerous, including: smart homes, smart cities and industrial automation. IoT systems often provide great benefits to numerous industries and society as a whole. Many of the IoT systems and technologies are relatively novel. The aim of this paper is to provide the last and most innovative contributions concerning the Protocol, Technology, Application, Architecture & Issues of interest in IoT solutions that involve interconnected smart things that interoperate with the objective of solving problems, provide functionality or optimize tasks.
Electronics, in particular VLSI technology, has made possible design of sophisticated, complex and powerful systems for user. Although silicon technology is evolving continuously to produce smaller, faster and reliable systems with low power, eventually the integration of Microelectronics and Photonics with Nano-chemistry as the driving force is the new area of research that spans from environmental management , smart health-care, smart energy management to new innovations in communications, processing and man-machine interfaces. This has created tremendous opportunities for realization of new systems. The co-existence of silicon technology with these emerging technologies, photonics and nano-chemistry has created new design opportunities for the designer, bringing new challenges to be solved. In this paper, some of the important challenges have been discussed.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly gaining impact in our day to day lives. They are finding a wide range of applications in various domains, including health-care, assisted and enhanced-living scenarios, industrial and production monitoring, control networks, and many other fields. In future, WSNs are expected to be integrated into the "Internet of Things", where sensor nodes join the Internet dynamically, and use it to collaborate and accomplish their tasks. However, when WSNs become a part of the Internet, we must carefully investigate and analyze the issues involved with this integration. In this paper, we evaluate different approaches to integrate WSNs into the Internet and outline a set of challenges, which we target to address in the near future.
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.
