Adoption of Internet of Things Technologies in Enterprises

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) pervades any device that has or that can be upgraded with an Internet connection capability. IoT has become a key concept linking uniquely identifiable things to their virtual representations over the Internet. Currently, this approach has spread widely throughout most of areas, enterprises or groups of people, on the thriving express lane provided by IPv6 protocol. This newer version of IP has more than enough addresses, about 3.4×1038 addresses to serve all IP networking needs for the foreseeable future when more than twenty-four billion smart things will be connected by 2020. As we move from www (static pages web) to web2 (social networking web) to web3 (ubiquitous computing web), the need for data-on-demand using sophisticated intuitive queries increases significantly.
