Internet of Things (IOT): Research Challenges and Future Applications

Abstract

With the Internet of Things (IoT) gradually evolving as the subsequent phase of the evolution of the Internet, it becomes crucial to recognize the various potential domains for application of IoT, and the research challenges that are associated with these applications. Ranging from smart cities, to health care, smart agriculture, logistics and retail, to even smart living and smart environments IoT is expected to infiltrate into virtually all aspects of daily life. Even though the current IoT enabling technologies have greatly improved in the recent years, there are still numerous problems that require attention. Since the IoT concept ensues from heterogeneous technologies, many research challenges are bound to arise. The fact that IoT is so expansive and affects practically all areas of our lives, makes it a significant research topic for studies in various related fields such as information technology and computer science. Thus, IoT is paving the way for new dimensions of research to be carried out. This paper presents the recent development of IoT technologies and discusses future applications and research challenges.

Industrial internet of things: Investigation of the applications, issues, and challenges

“…The power of the IoT does not only consist of remote control. Another important benefit of connecting objects is the possibility for smart objects to access any kind of information through the Internet, information that can be exploited to improve the service offered to end-users (Husein, 2019;Righetti et al, 2018). The networking giant's latest mobile Visual Networking Index (VNI) forecast estimates that there will be more than 12 billion connected mobile devices across the world by 2022, up from nine billion today (Dhanda et al, 2019).…”

“…The Internet is continuously developing as expected, but recently it has developed additional than merely a connected grid of workstations, but a network of many devices (Husein, 2019). The IoT functions as a network of different 'connected' devices, or a network of networks (Miraz et al, 2018), as revealed in Fig.…”

“…There has been a significant increase in Internet-enabled devices. Even however its furthermost important commercial result has been in the personal microchip technology field, seen in the rebellion of smartphones and wearable devices, such as watches and headsets, joining persons has become simply one part of a higher movement towards the fusion of the digital and physical worlds (Husein, 2019). The IoT is projected to continue expanding its influence, which will affect the appliances and utilities that it can track.…”

“…The IoT is projected to continue expanding its influence, which will affect the appliances and utilities that it can track. This is obvious from the uncertainty in the appearance of 'things,' which makes it challenging to plan the increasing limits of the IoT (Husein, 2019). The IoT marks the first real evolution of the Internet.…”

Logistics and Supply Chain Engineering: Perspectives on Paperless System for Highway Automatic Tollgate (HAT) through Industry 4.0. in Indonesia

“…The integration of the aforementioned concept is in the full swing, including the implementation of Industry 4.0 in Indonesia. The connected devices within IoT and IoE are integrated among each other, allowing the smooth operational efficiency [1]. The efficiency result has trigger further industrial implementation in Indonesia, not only within global Industry 4.0, but also within Making Indonesia (MI) as Indonesia's Local Wisdom and Settings.…”
