Internet of things (IOT) and new computing paradigms

Abstract

Commonly, an Internet of Things (IoT) system follows the architecture of the Cloud-centric Internet of Things (CIoT) in which the physical objects are represented in the form of Web resources that are managed by the servers in the global Internet. In general, the common IoT system involves three major technologies: embedded systems, middleware, and cloud services. Although the CIoT model is a common approach to implement IoT systems, it is facing the growing challenges in IoT. This chapter discusses foundations of computing paradigms for realizing emerging IoT applications, especially fog and edge computing, their background, characteristics, architectures and open challenges. It presents re..
