Richard, Are We There Yet? - An Internet of Nano Things Information System Architecture

Abstract

Richard Feynman's visionary lecture at Caltech, which dates back more than half a century, is regarded as the birth of today's nanotechnology. Over time, many nanotechnology-based approaches, methods, and innovations have been adopted in almost all research disciplines. This nano-centered evolution is currently transforming the traditional paradigm of the Internet of Things into the Internet of Nano Things. However, the focus here is not on the mere adaptation of down scaling and is instead primarily on the effects and characteristics that result from this new scale. To fully exploit these new possibilities and combine them with existing added-value technologies, it is not sufficient to miniaturize existing Internet-of-Thingsbased systems-they must be developed from scratch. Against this background, this study examines the main areas of nanotechnology in combination with the Internet of Things phenomenon and, based on an exploratory literature search, presents an information system architecture for IoNT-based information systems. How must an information system be designed from an architectural perspective to satisfy the demands of IoNT-based systems? Against this background, the objective of this study was to develop an information system architecture for IoNT-based systems. The approach used for this study was a systematic literature search.

Digital forensics challenges and readiness for 6G Internet of Things (IoT) networks

“…Wearables, bio‐integrated devices, and bio‐nano intelligent systems are being developed with rapid speed to facilitate real‐time healthcare services (Barakat et al, 2021; Bhat & Alqahtani, 2021; Hewa et al, 2020; Mardini et al, 2021; Mucchi et al, 2020; Nayak & Patgiri, 2020; Padhi & Charrua‐Santos, 2021a). These IoT devices such as the ones described in Nasrollahzadeh et al (2020) and Strobel and Mittnacht (2021) help to sense biological and chemical changes around a patient and send the collated data to edge or fog data center environments for further processing (Al‐Turjman, 2020). However, its acceleration and progress are hindered by the reliability and latency of data communication by functioning sensors and nodes that transfer data to these data centers.…”

A Systematic Review of Bio-Cyber Interface Technologies and Security Issues for Internet of Bio-Nano Things

“…The material used to compose nano devices can be only biological [60] (proteins, DNA sequences, lipids, biological cell) or they can be synthesized with non-biological materials such as magnetic particles and gold nanorods. There are a number of naturally occurring nano devices e-g protein motors that bind certain types of molecule on cargo transport them through filaments and unbind them at destination, liposomes capable of storing and releasing certain types of molecules, biological cells coated with non-biological material for non-cell native functions(e-g absorbing mercury).…”
