The Internet of Things: system and applications

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) plays the role of an experts' technical tool by empowering physical resources into smart entities through existing network infrastructure. Its prime focus is to provide smart and seamless services at the user end without any interruption.

It is a new paradigm that has changed the traditional way of living into a high tech life style. Smart city, smart homes, pollution control, energy saving, smart transportation, smart industries are such transformations due to IoT. A lot of crucial researches and investigations have been done in order to enhance the technologythrough IoT. However, there are still a lot of challenges and issues that need to be addressed to achieve the full potential of IoT. These challenges and issues must be considered from various aspects of IoT such as applications, challenges of cybercrime, enabling technologies, data congestions, security, social and environmental impacts etc. The main goal of this research paper is to provide or to carryout research on the nature of IoT and its application in various fields which includes secretarial field. The article discusses different challenges and key issues of IoT such as industrial data ingestion, poor management and cybercrime, architecture and important application domains of IoT. Also, the article brings into light the existing literature and illustrates their contributions in different aspects of IoT. Moreover, the importance of big data and its analysis with respect to IoT has been discussed. This article would help the secretarial professionals and other researchers to understand the use of IoT and its applicability to the real world.
