A Step toward Next-Generation Advancements in the Internet of Things Technologies

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) devices generate a large amount of data over networks; therefore, the efficiency, complexity, interfaces, dynamics, robustness, and interaction need to be re-examined on a large scale. This phenomenon will lead to seamless network connectivity and the capability to provide support for the IoT. The traditional IoT is not enough to provide support. Therefore, we designed this study to provide a systematic analysis of next-generation advancements in the IoT. We propose a systematic catalog that covers the most recent advances in the traditional IoT. An overview of the IoT from the perspectives of big data, data science, and network science disciplines and also connecting technologies is given. We highlight the conceptual view of the IoT, key concepts, growth, and most recent trends. We discuss and highlight the importance and the integration of big data, data science, and network science along with key applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, federated learning, etc. Finally, we discuss various challenges and issues of IoT such as architecture, integration, data provenance, and important applications such as cloud and edge computing, etc. This article will provide aid to the readers and other researchers in an understanding of the IoT’s next-generation developments and tell how they apply to the real world.

Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Wastewater Management in Smart Cities

“…Freshwater is one of the most valuable natural commodities that is not available every day. The IoT uses the concept of sensing devices installed at different points in the water environment for aquatic care [16]. These sensors capture and transmit data to surveillance systems.…”

Simulation Tools for Fog Computing: A Comparative Analysis

“…Cloud provides on-demand access to a shared pool of resources, which can be accessed by users over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis such as storage, computing, and network. Over the past few decades, the demands for cloud resources have reached new peaks with an increase in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the demands for newer services and applications, thus resulting in huge amounts of data generation [ 1 , 2 ]. This rise in demand for cloud resources resulted in numerous challenges within the cloud paradigm.…”

Rotating Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Energy Harvesting and Their Applications

“…Technological advancements over recent years have led to widespread development of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT), a new paradigm of high tech, smart everyday life where various devices communicate with each other for sensing and control purposes [1]. As the range of applications for IoT networks flourishes, the need for long lasting, autonomous systems with little or no maintenance requirements has become apparent.…”
