Internet of Things: Concept, Building blocks, Applications and Challenges

Internet of things (IoT) constitutes one of the most important technology that has the potential to affect deeply our way of life, after mobile phones and Internet. The basic idea is that every objet that is around us will be part of the network (Internet), interacting to reach a common goal. In another word, the Internet of Things concept aims to link the physical world to the digital one. Technology advances along with popular demand will foster the wide spread deployement of IoT's services, it would radically transform our corporations, communities, and personal spheres. In this survey, we aim to provide the reader with a broad overview of the Internet of things concept, its building blocks, its applications along with its challenges.
