Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT), anything on earth with embedded processor, storage, and communication technology can communicate with each other. IoT can interconnect billions and trillions of devices on earth. This is considered as next revolution in the world of internet. It is expected that this revolution will drastically improve quality of daily life, will bring new forms of collaboration, interaction, and activities. IoT is not considered a single technology, but it is an aggregation of various underlying technologies, making the application development task bit challenging. In order to cope up with this challenge, number of vendors are coming up with IoT platforms for application development. IoT platforms provide support for connecting, storing, computing, and analysing data from heterogeneous devices. This chapter, presents a reference architecture for IoT service platforms, outline a set of service and architectural requirements for IoT platform, and review four major IoT platforms (AWS IoT platform, IBM Watson platform, Microsoft Azure IoT Platform, and Google Cloud Platform) from these requirements viewpoint. Further, gaps and issues in present IoT platforms are discussed with future research directions.
