Abstract
Internet of things (IoT) is a worldwide network of the autonomous real-world and digital internet enabled things connecting and communicating with each other seamlessly. The main objective of IoT concept is to transform traditional devices to intelligent and autonomous units, which can be managed from anywhere and anytime over the Internet. IoT technologies are predicted to improve the standards of life, and at the same, there are many issues to be researched intensively. IoT enables the people and machines to discover and interact with many devices like sensors, actuators, service triggers and other things connected to the web. The recent technological innovations in the internet, cloud, big data and smartphones leveraged the design of smart factories, smart homes and smart cities. IoT market research predicted that rapid developments in IoT applications will dramatically increase the number of sensors and actuators deployed worldwide. This chapter reviewed the literature from papers from high impact journals on IoT enabling technologies, solutions and their deployments in smart environments.
