A survey of technologies for the internet of things

Abstract

The number of smart things is growing exponentially. By 2020, tens of billions of things will be deployed worldwide, collecting a wealth of diverse data. Traditional computing models collect in-field data and then transmit it to a central data center where analytics are applied to it, but this is no longer a sustainable model. New approaches and new technologies are required to transform enormous amounts of collected data into meaningful information. Technology also will enable the interconnection around things in the IoT ecosystem but further research is required in the development, convergence and interoperability of the different IoT elements. In this paper, we provide a picture of the main technological components needed to enable the interconnection among things in order to realize IoT concepts and applications.978-1-4799-5344-8/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

IoT Platforms: Analysis for Building Projects

“…Merged together and integration enables a large number of applications to be deployed regardless of which operating system is used by the user [2]. Figure 1 describes sensors and devices connected over Internet.…”

Internet of Things and Industrial Applications for Precision Machining

“…Communication technologies include both software and hardware elements required to enable networking [6]. Software elements mostly refer to the necessary communication standards, protocols and security considerations.…”

Exploiting Bro for Intrusion Detection in a SCADA System

“…A recent survey of IoT technologies [5] includes some exposure to how IoT technologies (device management, wireless connectivity, protocols) address security issues. In general, no IoT-specific security mechanisms with well-understood resource footprints are currently available.…”
