Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm providing pervasive presence in the environment of things through wireless and wired connections. Things are able to interact and cooperate with each other through unique addressing schemes to create services and reach common goals. The challenges to create a world where many things are converging to create smart and intelligent environments are enormous. The goal of the IoT is to enable things to be connected with anything and anyone using any method to provide services at all time.
IoT is a new revolution of the Internet where objects make themselves recognizable and they obtain intelligence through information communication. Things can access information aggregated by others and they can also be components of complex services meantime. IoT may involve vehicles and smart houses where services including security, energy-saving, automation, telecommunication, computers and entertainment are integrated into a single system with a shared user interface.
This powerful communication tool provides access to information, media and services, through wired and wireless broadband connections. IoT assists in convergence of consumers, businesses and industries where it creates an open and global network connecting people, data, and things. This convergence leverages the environment where intelligent things sense and transmit data, helping creating services not possible without this level of connectivity and intelligence.
