Internet of Things (IoT) has widely been accepted as a promising paradigm for connecting a large number of resource-constrained miniature sensor nodes that have the ability to sense the deployed environment. They have found their applications in various aspect of our daily lives. However, these nodes are mostly restricted to sense only the scalar data. Nowadays, multimedia sensor nodes are gaining significant attention due to their ability to collect scalar as well as multi-dimensional data. These nodes are considered as the foundation of Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT) and are shaping the perception of IoT. Multimedia data have stringent requirements in terms of reliability, latency, storage, bandwidth, and Quality of Service (QoS). To provide seamless and interoperable communication in IoMT, the underlying protocol stacks need to fulfill these stringent requirements. However, the heterogeneous nature of multimedia sensors makes interoperability a challenging task to fulfill. To understand the challenges faced by seamless and interoperable communication in IoMT, we provide a comprehensive review of the existing protocol stacks of IoMT and analyze their feasibility for multimedia streaming applications. Data storage of multimedia applications is another area that requires immediate attention of the research community. For this purpose, we study cloud as an entity to facilitate multimedia applications of IoMT. The instances of multimedia cloud are analyzed and a number of shortcomings are identified that pave the way for edge computing in IoMT. Finally, we present a case study that shows the significance of our work. The case study portrays an in-home patient monitoring system with an interoperable communication among the connected multimedia streaming devices at home, and healthcare practitioners at hospital. The case study also highlights the importance of uninterrupted data storage and retrieval at the network edge and multimedia sensor nodes.

With the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4th IR), its emerging technologies and skills; there is a mismatch between 4th IR, and the skills needed by information professionals to survive. This paper bridges the gap based on the skills needed to survive and provide possible solutions to challenges faced by information professionals, which will in turn help to reduce the number of unemployed, semi-employed, non-employed, and provide economic empowerment among information professionals in this new revolution. Information professionals should adopt the missing middle model/techniques in organization which asserts that robots, by and large, will not be taking our jobs; instead, human Machine collaboration will reconfigure some of our work, making and make human skills more unique and important than ever.
This study aimed to investigate students’ awareness and perception toward the execution of Internet of Things (IoT) in library services of Indian Institute Technologies (IITs) of Northern India. This study consists of a quantitative research design in which a survey was conducted utilizing a stratified random sampling technique to survey 813 students from five IITs. A total of 780 correctly filled-out surveys were received, yielding a response rate of 95.94%. Statistical tools, including Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, were used to analyze the data. To assess the significance of the results at the 0.05% level, statistical analysis was carried out utilizing percentages and analysis of variance. This study will communicate the attitude, awareness, and perception of students regarding the implementation of IoT in libraries of IITs. It is conducted to understand the motive behind new technology acceptance in academic libraries. The findings reveal that most of the students got familiar with IoT from browsing on the Web/Internet, social networking sites, research projects, conferences, workshops, webinars and faculty development programs, professional discussions, and meetings, as part of the curriculum. Respondents were in favor of implementing IoT in library services. They believed that IoT will ensure better and more efficient utilization of library resources, followed by real-time information accessibility, recommend IoT-based library services, system content quality will be updated, and will increase the quality of the library; the efficiency of library services will increase with implementation of IoT. It will increase the productivity of library services, be useful in an emergency, and promote information literacy. The study’s findings would be beneficial to libraries and academic institutions interested in implementing IoT applications in their libraries.
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.
