Abstract: The term Internet of Things (IoT) was coined more than ten years ago, when in parallel the concepts of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing has been developped. Since then, there have been considerable developments in both academia and industry. Generally speaking, IoT represents intelligent end -to- end systems that enable smart solutions and , as such, it covers a diverse range of technologies including sensing, communications, networking, computing, information processing and intelligent control technologies. IoT is composed of a huge number of nodes. This invokes scalability requirements on any proposed solution for IoT. Nodes may differ from one to another. Therefore, any proposed approach must effectively deal with heterogeneity. Solutions issues must be open and enable interactions with systems based on different technical solutions. This is a difficult task, given that most nodes in the IoT will have scarce capacity in terms of both energy and processing capabilities. Mobile management is another interesting investigation..Things are moving and the system should be able to locate them whenever nedeed. The major difficulties are related to the number of mobile nodes in the IoT, which has an impact on scalability. Next, research issue to be addressed is the characterization of the traffic that will traverse the IoT. Such traffic will have different features from the today Internet traffic. Nemely, most of them will be generated and directed to machines that communicate in a different way from humans.Energy constraints and the specific features of the IoT communication environment will be the stimulus for modelling and design of protocols at both network and transport layers.
This work starts with mobile crowdsensing characteristics including architecture of applications, security and data integrity. Semantic sensor WEB will be presented. After that, IP-based wireless sensor network approach to the IoT is emphasized. Machine-to- machine as a promizing technology for development of IoT communications platforms with high potential to enable a wide range of applications in different domains will be described, too. Nanotechnology applications with the future challenges in the IoT area conclude the presentation.
