A survey of Internet-of-Things: Future vision, architecture, challenges and services

TLDR

IoT merges the Internet with RFID, sensors, and smart objects to connect billions of devices and convert raw data into actionable insights, yet it still lacks a novel mechanism that integrates Internet, things, and semantic vision. The paper proposes a novel IoT architecture based on a Semantic Fusion Model and discusses its applications, services, visual aspects, and challenges. The architecture employs a Smart Semantic framework and Semantic Fusion Model to encapsulate sensor data, embedding semantic logic and value‑based information for an intelligent system.

Abstract

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is the convergence of Internet with RFID, Sensor and smart objects. IoT can be defined as “things belonging to the Internet” to supply and access all of real-world information. Billions of devices are expected to be associated into the system and that shall require huge distribution of networks as well as the process of transforming raw data into meaningful inferences. IoT is the biggest promise of the technology today, but still lacking a novel mechanism, which can be perceived through the lenses of Internet, things and semantic vision. This paper presents a novel architecture model for IoT with the help of Semantic Fusion Model (SFM). This architecture introduces the use of Smart Semantic framework to encapsulate the processed information from sensor networks. The smart embedded system is having semantic logic and semantic value based Information to make the system an intelligent system. This paper presents a discussion on Internet oriented applications, services, visual aspect and challenges for Internet of things using RFID, 6lowpan and sensor networks.
