INTERNET OF THINGS: A REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Keywords:
Internet of Things, IoT, limitations, strengthsAbstract
This paper presents the state-of-art of the Internet of Things (IoT), an enabler of new forms of communication between people and things, and between things. The main strength of the IoT concept is the high influence it has on everyday life by creating a new dimension to the world, similar to what the Internet once did. This paper describes the definitions of IoT and summarizes its main enabling technologies. The content includes the strengths and limitations of applications based on the IoT in logistics, transportation, healthcare, and environment and disaster. Finally, the open challenges of the IoT are debated to encourage more investigations into the domains.
