ABSTRACT

Internet of Things (IoT) is the realisation of ubiquitous computing paradigm, in which vast number of smart devices and stakeholders, abstracted as “things”, are able to seamlessly interact with each other via the Internet protocol. IoT is relatively a new term that builds upon advancement of existing technological and research domains such as wireless sensor networks, web services, distributed computing, and computer networks. A typical IoT application consists of several layers, although a sensory layer for interaction with the environment and a middleware that hosts a gateway for communication with external entities are almost present in every IoT architecture. Since most of sensors and devices used in IoT are somehow constrained, understanding their characteristics and limitations is a key requirement for designing a solid solution and proliferation of IoT in general. This presentation aims to shed light on evolution of IoT gateways, sensors, and actuators in various IoT environments and contexts, in addition to providing a taxonomy of different sensors and their application domains.
