Top2. Iot Terminology And Architecture
The different terminologies which form the IoT infrastructure can be presented in many ways. This section starts with the different definitions of IoT.
The RFID group defines IoT as, “The global network of interconnected things uniquely addressable depend on defined communication protocols”.
The authors of (Sundmaeker et al., 2010) defines IoT as, “Objects’ are active participants in information, social and business, processes where objects are enabled to interact and exchange information among themselves and with the environment by communicating data and information sensed about the surrounding environment, while reacting independently to the physical events and affecting it by running processes that cause actions and create services with or without human involvement…”
The authors of (Jayavardhana et al., 2012) presents user-centric definition of IoT as, “Interconnection of actuating and sensing devices as long as the ability to exchange information across different platforms through a combined framework, developing a general operating image for enabling innovative applications. This is accomplished by seamless ubiquitous sensing, information representation and data analytics with Cloud computing as the framework…”
