Abstract

In the age of digital change, IoT is a crucial technological trend nowadays. It is expected that the number of IoT devices will rise by 25.1 billion by 2025. In the IoT family, there is a subset that is SIoT (Social Internet of Things), which is a relatively recent concept. And a method of integrating IoT with social networking. SIoT is a simulation of human-to-human and object-to-object social networks where Humans are called intellectual and relational objects. They build their social network to accomplish common objectives such as enhancing accessibility, success, and productivity, as well as providing the services they need. The main contribution of this review article is to understand the concepts of SIoT. SIoT can be best described by its architecture which includes its components, the relationship.
