Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

After the World Wide Web (the 1990's) and the mobile Internet (the 2000's), we are now heading to the third phase of the Internet evolution - the Internet of Things. A new era where the real, digital and virtual converge to create smart environments that make energy, transport, cities and many other areas more intelligent. Smart is the new green and the green products and services are being replaced by smart products and services. The Internet of things means billions of smart objects that are incorporated into our everyday life, improving the social, technical and economic benefits. The Internet of Things enables anytime, anyplace connectivity for anything and anyone. However, there are many issues that need to be solved in order to reach the full potential of the Internet of things.
