Abstract

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly. Billions of devices are expected to be associated in the coming future. Smart and sensing devices have impacted the Big Data area through huge data generation and gathering during the communication between new physical object. The challenges in this communication process can be seen in the necessity to handle huge amount of data that can serve different purposes in various fields such as, medical, social, commercial, industrial and scientific fields. This study aims at presenting some of the most recent advances in IoT. We divided the study into four main parts: short history, Big Data concept, IoT sources (hardware and software), and finally some challenges and future expectations. The objective of the study is to give readers an updated description of the IoT and its impact on Big Data.
