A Review Paper on Internet of Things (IoT)

The next wave in the era of computing will be outside the realm of the traditional desktop. The proliferation of devices with communicating-actuating capabilities is bringing closer the vision of an Internet of Things (IoT). Fuelled by the recent adaptation of a variety of enabling wireless technologies and embedded sensor and actuator nodes, the Internet of Things (IoT) has stepped out of its infancy and is the next revolutionary technology in transforming the Internet into a fully integrated Future Internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to deliver solutions that dramatically improve energy efficiency, security, health, education and many aspects of daily life. It is the idea of automating the technology via which we can command and control systems. This paper presents vision and motivation for Internet of Things (IoT). It briefly describes the building blocks of Internet of Things (IoT) and puts light towards the integration of cloud and IoT. The paper even highlights the technological challenges and future directions in order to make IoT a reality.
