The Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving paradigm that connects physical objects to the internet, enabling seamless integration and communication between devices and humans (Carretero & García Sánchez, 2013). IoT combines sensor, embedded, computing, and communication technologies to provide ubiquitous services (Narasimha Swamy & Kota, 2020). This interconnected network of devices aims to improve various aspects of daily life, including energy efficiency, healthcare, and comfort (Carretero & García Sánchez, 2013). The IoT architecture encompasses multiple layers and technologies, such as fog computing, wireless sensor networks, and data analytics (Din et al., 2019). However, the widespread adoption of IoT faces challenges in energy efficiency, scalability, interoperability, and security (Narasimha Swamy & Kota, 2020). As IoT continues to evolve, it is expected to transform the real world into intelligent virtual objects, unifying everything under a common infrastructure (Madakam et al., 2015). This technological advancement promises to revolutionize various industries and improve the overall quality of life.
