The Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are emerging as a promising service platform for the next-generation Internet. By integrating heterogeneous service models and devices into a cohesive system, IoT exhibits tremendous potential to meet the information-processing demands of smart environments. Similarly, the pervasive nature of cloud computing promises to make low-profile “things” resource rich by enhancing their processing and storage capabilities.
IoT encompasses various technical areas, such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), embedded systems, radio frequency identification (RFID), and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication systems. IoT will enable the development of smart and autonomous environments by allowing billions of “things” to communicate to provide services in fields such as business, healthcare, social networks, logistics, agriculture, and e-commerce…
However, the ubiquitous interconnection of these “things” will also generate a gigantic amount of data. Cloud computing provides an ideal platform for big data analytics and can meet the processing needs of “things” having low processing capabilities. Thus, the integration of cloud computing can help to meet the demands of IoT for context analysis, automated decision making, and the generation of dynamic and intelligent responses in ever-changing environments…
