A Detailed Investigation on Embedded Computing Systems for IoT Applications

Abstract

The Internet of things(IoT) is a revolutionary paradigm in Information technology. IoT interconnects the various objects to internet thus being considered as virtual objects. It is considered that the IoT is the next big ‘thing’ in internet. Internet uses the Internet protocol suite (IP/TCP) by which computer networks are interconnected in order to serve the users worldwide. Thus billions of objects which would be provided with a unique identifiers(UID's), will be outfitted using several actuators and sensors and connecting those to internet which can be accessed using technologies like real time services, RFID, embedded sensing etc. IoT aims at improving the quality of human life. It is necessary to transform the cities by improving transportation systems, infrastructure, providing waste management etc. Currently as the internet infrastructure is almost available everywhere, thus the embedded computing device can be exposed to the internet influence. Hence the real-time data can be analyzed and used to create desired outcomes. IoT has wide range of applications like Smart cities, Industrial automation, Smart home applications, healthcare, wearables, agriculture etc.
